Pros

On campus for a student worker

Cons

No proper leadership, poor scheduling, ridiculous hours. Schedule wouldn't be posted for the student workers so we would be chastised for not coming in when it wasn't posted. Trying to run a kitchen on a skeletal crew was frustrating.

Business Outlook

Pros

Join if you want free food.

Cons

Very profit driven, management wants to be the good guy, site staffs becomes the bad guy. Minimal support from management. Lack mentoring and guidance. Needs to be wanyang to be seen, otherwise practically invisible to management. Benefits are disappointing. 10 days AL for site staff, capped at 3 days max. No DND for don't know how many years. Not being appreciated. Get ready to work even while you are on leave, complete contradiction of their motto quality of life. Only focus client's quality of life, not employees.
