Pros

Free food, alright benefits (health, dental, etc.)

Cons

-did not follow basic kitchen cleanliness protocol (especially with their walk ins and meat handling) -incompetent management (SC and HC sat around all shift not doing their jobs) - horrible pay (the other bon app operation in town made double our pay) - lack of safety protocols (cut by those above me due to lack of knife safety) -faked cleanliness and safety standards for inspection, still failed. - the list could go on but I think the point is made. I quit because I didnt want to work in a place that is all but poisoning students.

Upper Management does not address employee concerns

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food Company has good values (environmental, social)

Cons

HR does nothing to help you, upper management ignores harassment claims, company employs mentally unstable chefs with no management or people skills, as a mid level manager I was told by regional to "manage upward" because my own manager was such a wreck and could not keep anything organized or professional, meanwhile chef made way more money than me and I was doing their job.
