Pros

Locally based company with national multi-channel presence. Great employee discount if you like to cook/entertain. Relatively casual environment when things are going well.

Cons

Definitely not enough accountability at the upper management level as they are "driving the bus"...but where is it going? Potential for personal growth, although limited and difficult to get there (the discovery of how to do it is difficult, to say the least). There's a distinct lack of loyalty and connection between upper management and lower employees...be careful of investing too much of yourself and expecting any "ROI".

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
