Pros

Company is good, people are generally great and pleasant to work for. Telecommuting has become acceptable and the norm, but hybrid work at headquarters is available.

Communication from upper management is not always very clear and consistent. Salary is below the average for Seattle. It's hard to get promoted.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The team I worked with at the Los Gatos store was amazing. Very hard working and the Chefs that I worked with were all very skilled. I worked at SLT for 9 months. Really up-leveled my cooking ability regarding Italian foods as I'm more of an Asian cuisine specilist.

Cons

Low pay for the area. Not many sites open any more.
