Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and Benefits are fair. However bonus structure is complicated and not at all attainable. Don't need immediate supervisors approval to look at new opportunities after one year on the job.

Cons

Culture of scapegoating and protecting ones own interests. Company on boarding and learning is window dressing. No substance to employee development.

Pros

This job was really good to me while I was in college. It worked around my schedule so that I would never become too busy with school and work. The management experience was really helpful for finding a career. The company really seemed to care about its Student Managers, as we were given quarterly trainings in helpful areas.

Cons

As a part time manager, the full timers tend to overlook some serious problems. The student manager is a liaison between its diverse student employee base and upper management. If there was moral problem with the student staff (university students getting paid minimal wage to work in a dish room), management more often than not ignored my warnings, leading to a drastic turnover rate with our new hires. In the long run, we ran into many problems with always having a very green staff.
