Pros

The only pros I have to say about this company are, number one, the food is good, it used to be great, but it’s good now. Number two, the interior of the restaurant is fantastic! It is super eclectic, and very unique. Unlike any other restaurant

Cons

Are used to love working here, but sales have gone down significantly, which makes the owner put pressure on the managers, which makes the managers care less and less about their employees and more about their own jobs. I have never felt more disposable as an employee in my life. Not just an employee but a hard-working employee. It is a terrible terrible feeling.

Pros

One of the pros to working at this company is that they are family owned so they treat all employees as members of their family. Additionally, they allow you to make your own schedule if you are not a salaried employee. This allows people to work an additional job on the side without any conflict.

Cons

However, since it is a catering company and they have many on-call employees you don't always get scheduled on your desired dates, if at all. It was hard to maintain a consistent schedule and income.
