Pros

I've been working here for about 3 months and the pros are the flexible schedule and very organized/professional event supervisors, its a great job if your a student or just need a second job for the weekends. Through blue plate I've catered small events in the suburbs serving champaign and appetizers as well as full service dinner events with 1000 guests at the field museum and this company is always organized, the event supervisors know exactly what to do and keep the events flowing smoothly. Every event is different and so coming to work is never boring.

Cons

Not so much a con but more of an annoyance: Servers that have been there for a long time kind of act like h.s. students and cling to their group of friends throughout an entire shift, often taking them longer to complete simple tasks that they intentionally drag out so that they can talk to their friend(s) creating more work for other servers, especially during the set up of events. I understand that they want to have fun while at work and thats good, but some need to remember to keep it down because its not their party, and they need to move faster if tables need to be set.
