Pros

There are some talented people in the company. Unfortunately, their skills are not valued which leads to CYA behavior.

Cons

Disorganization and unethical behavior is common. Google the company history you will find a lot of funds mismanagement and theft. Essentially, the main product are sandwiches to airlines. I wouldn’t count on gate gourmet being a long-term career. Once airlines cut their in-flight food service there’s really no other line of business. They make claims to their amenity items but that could be purchased directly from manufacturers. Despite some talented employees you will find others that are clueless. Many of these individuals have been with company so long they are pushed up in the ranks. This creates challenges as some are compelled to create tension and finger point in order to remain in their role. Turn over is high and for good reason.

Pros

- Commuting distance and office accessibility.

Cons

- Unethical business practices. - Innovation and creativity is stifled. - Unprofessional Employees - Very little structure - Zero management support - High turnover - Unstable company (in sum) While the work is simple your largest stress is dealing with employee attitudes and a toxic culture. Due to lack of skills you’ll find many who create issues in order to keep their jobs. Reports of unethical behavior are ignored. Save yourself the headache and do NOT work here.
