Gate Gourmet reviews

*Gate No-Life - This is a 24 hrs a day/7 days a week/365 days a year and you are expected to work 10-14 hrs per day often 6 days per week (forget getting weekends and holidays off). Very high turnover of personnel. *Manual systems and processes - Tribal knowledge rules. *The system to control the customers and their requirements weakly managed creating havoc. Incorrect or missing items are the norm (not the exception). *Weak/nonexistent internal systems and controls cause stockouts and line stoppages creating chaos for all levels. *Personnel are expected to use their own credit cards (repaid after the fact by petty cash) to go to local stores to buy what they need to keep the line going. For hourly/labor - be prepared to work in a refrigerator (or freezer) environment. This is airline food preparation/catering and it is the nature of the beast.

Racist group in upper management regionally and in HQ thst don't care about management. If you don't say yes sir or not be a yes man you are blacklisted. Worked there 20 years and never felt part of a team just a pawn in the game. Very low moral in management ranks. No merit raises, no bonus, nada. So get your money up front because no more is coming. Any good reviews you see are from the HR group in Reston so don't believe the hype. Company does not pay bills because they want to show cash on the the books meanwhile phones in the units are ringing off from vendors that are not paid. Accounts payable in Reston which is headquarters pays only when vendors threaten legal action or stopping services. Corporate security are a bunch of retired law enforcement people who still think they are cops, pitiful uncaring group of terrible people.
