Toxic management and no perks to be found

Prep/line cook

Pros

None. Absolutely not a single perk

Cons

They will lie to you about your starting pay, management will treat you like a peon off rip and will only stand up for their own and excuse each other’s behavior. Don’t you dare talk bad about their recipes, they don’t season the food and will defend it with their life.

Flexible schedule but serious harassment issues

Food service worker

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Shift meals and flexible schedule

Cons

Blatant sexual harassment committed by positions of authority. It was embarrassing and degrading. It happened multiple times. Inappropriate touching and language made me so uncomfortable I had to leave. Higher-ups will not listen to you if you report sexual harassment. The corruption runs deep it’s just a big social club that aims to protect itself and churn out as many employees as they can.
