Pros

The food was good and there was a real strong bond among employees. Most times things were done inspite of Sr Management.

Cons

Gate gourmet is the worst place I have ever worked. I was ignored. It took over 9 weeks to finish my office. It took six weeks to get a computer. Then when I provided a list of "things needed to turn my department around I received nothing. The management at SFO does not support its workers. You must be one of the "in crowd" to get anything of value. Favortism and affairs riddle the Senior management team

EXCITING BUT DEAD END CAREER & NOT WORTH THE MONEY & EFFORT; NO WORK LIFE BALANCE

Pros

Great colleagues, good start pay (this will be your last pay, there are no raises or cost of living increases). Great place to develop & build skill set, never a dull moment.

Cons

The worst place to pursue a career progression. There is no appreciation or money. Your job functions increase each day but your paycheck is never going to increase unless you threaten to quit. Also the worst Sr. Managers & majority of them are psychotic micro managers who make you work crazy hours & call your personal phone after hours for work. This is only for North America. The Management in Europe are fabulous.
