Pros

Building is nice-ish. If you are lucky enough to avoid having a micro manager your hours may be a bit more lax as long as your "work" is done.

Cons

I have never seen a company so constantly in turmoil. Constant lay-offs, restructuring, changing up of departments and managers, new CEO every year. Gate Gourmet is a revolving door for everyone from entry-level employees to VPs. Processes and SOPs are always changing due to every department only working to blame other departments for their screw ups. If these departments focused on actually doing their jobs as hard as they do on pointing fingers, Gate would be a Fortune 500 company. It is a good place for college students to get some professional experience to work for a year and leave for greener pastures. There is no mobility, no bonuses, no pay increases. Promotions are extremely hard to come by and are falsely promised to keep you around for a little while longer to hire a replacement.
