Business Outlook

Pros

You will gain intimate knowledge of genuinely good food, and you will have options to learn from available knowledge to get better opportunities.

Cons

The company is far more focused on sales than quality of food and employee benefits and/or employee wellbeing. In a single month we lost three employees due to poor management and pay discrepancy alone.
