Pros
For food service the Teams and Food are way above par. Yes the work is hard, but he perks are better than other food service. Work hard and have fun..
Cons
1. Resturanters are only in it to CYA- they will stab anyone in the back to keep the company car. Every one that I talked to bragged about not having to work after they got the promotion (and we only saw ours 1 time in 10 months) 2. GMs(9 of the 10 i met) managed from the office cameras not the floor. In one store the manager would call the front line from the other line to complain about what they saw on the camera rather than come out and coach or help the team. 3. They preach it is all about the ' People, Food and Culture' but from a management point of view it is all about making sure no one is able to do there job as then they believe they would be replaceable (and they are as they don't have a clue as they were trained by people trying to protect there own jobs the same way) 4. Lack of real accountability, in the year i worked there as a GM I never once met my boss, but I did meet 5 Resturanters (and if they were good GMs at one time, getting promoted cured them of that) If I owned a company I would not hire any of them to even scrub garbage cans) 5. Everything is hand cut. This is a future Class Action Lawsuit waiting to happen. Every prep person that I have met has either shooting arm pain or CT due to repetitive motion with duller and duller knifes. This is the 21st century, us a Hobart or pay for it for knowingly and willingly injuring your Team.
