Pros
-Competitive benefits package -Great culinary team (the FOOD!) -Large raises and very competitive salary -By and large the most driven and smartest coworkers I’ve had the pleasure of working with -Overall, people try to do the right thing here -You are trusted with a lot of responsibility right away. You have an chance to grow professional skill sets tremendously even in your first year -Chance for early management roles with good performance. Due to high turnover, company is constantly looking for new leaders -Easy to make friends. They start everyone on the same day every month and most new hires are straight out of college and eager to meet people in their new city
Cons
-No ability to select or meet your manager when interviewing, it’s luck of the draw. You are placed on a team and given a manager based on which team has the most need for new hires. Manager is directly responsible for ranking your performance, which could impact career growth/opportunities, raises, and bonuses, and has a big influence on your career and happiness -Very high hours. You will typically be staffed to another customer if you fall below 50 hours/week. I averaged 60 hours/week over a 3 year period. -High expectations. Mistakes are not welcomed as learning opportunities, but are to be prevented at all costs -High turnover -Lack of clear communication from upper management, seemingly divisive ideals between CEO and President (see recent articles on racism emails), frequent need to correct or adjust messaging in emails sent out to entire company after receiving feedback on poor wording or approach
