Pros

Summers off with my kids to enjoy traveling, fall/spring break off as well.

Cons

Will revisit this question later. Employees don't feel valued, no incentives. People call out all the time, but receive no correction for cakl outs. Whether it is Bon Appetit or Compass group, there isn't competitive pay. As I know the manager would love to pay more, his hands are tied, leading us to be extremely short staffed and leading us to major burn-out!

Pros

Depending on the clients, each client treated their contractors differently which may result in unequal job benefits.

Cons

During the Covid era, according to the company policy, staff was supposed to be quarantined after being exposed to Covid positive workers. After being exposed, I requested a quarantine from my manager but my manager was skeptical and kept questioning my exposure. Secondly, my manager was not competent in managing people after I numerously reported my coworker's cross-the-line behaviors, such as aggressive language and temper control issues. It became a very toxic working environment because my coworker continuously gossiped about me throughout the team.
