Pros

No nights no weekends Monday-Friday. Great place to learn how to run a business by the numbers. I became a whiz at understanding and forecasting flash reports and how to manage to the budget. Many a week I was within $20 of my forecast, and I thank you for for that knowledge.

Cons

Unethical DM's moving money from accounts to hide losses or transferring labor to dummy accounts to make flash reports look correct to Sr Management. Forced to take sub par drop shipments of product so purchasing could receive their volume rebate, then told how you did not meet your inventory turns that quarter and bonus withheld. Taught how to read the monthly statements but then asked not to question why my subsidized account was billed for weeks for a floating chef that was never onsite because the other account could not afford the support, or why invoices were transferred to my unit but product was used at another account. Managers and Chefs forced to take pay reductions of between $10k and $18k because they have been with the company so long that their benefits cost the unit to much.

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.
