Pros

My hourly staff was very good. They were hard-working and reliable but had a bad attitude that was brought about by the upper level management. Other than my staff, there are no pros to this company.

Cons

NO work-life balance. This company is the worst. The account was perpetually under-staffed and it seemed to be that way on purpose. The middle management / chefs worked 70 to 80 hour weeks with no compensation or appreciation - as though that was expected. The upper level managers take and take and take. They are abusive and do nothing but berate the employees. This was by far the worst working experience I have had in my 30 year career. When I quit, my other managers and most of the hourly staff quit as well.

Pros

Hybrid Schedule. Free food and drinks in office.

Cons

High performers expected to make up for low performers. Pay is below market. Cliquey environment. Bottlenecked at close with extremely long hours. Internally promotes because they would not attract external talent at their compensation package. Management doesn't address employee concerns.
