Pros

Decent pay. Good benefits. Reasonable work-week hours. Excellent management development program. Rarely had to work weekends. The job allowed for lots of creativity in the areas of menu and recipe production. Plenty of opportunity for advancement, and or, relocation.

Cons

Very early start times. (before 6:00 am!) Not good if you are a night person. Ingrained, set-in-their ways staff, that at times were very difficult to deal with. Upper management decided to eliminate the Sous chef position. I was told that I would be required, indefinitely, to perform the duties of that position in addition to my own. This move essentially doubled my workload for the same rate of pay.

Pros

preparing the meals was the only good part.

Cons

Management is not very professional and will run your life force dry. They will overwork you by adding additional work and expecting you to complete the impossible. Management does not like to hire and will over work their current employees to stress and burnout. There is no time for rest, only fast paced continuous work. You get one thirty minute meal break that consists of bland breakfast after only working 2.5 hrs. You're not allowed to eat the lunch you prepared. There is zero respect for your life outside of work. To Eurest/Compass you are only a performing monkey. Run while you can.
