Pros

The free lunch for employees

Cons

-The owner verbally attacks his employees on a daily basis-sometimes without explanation -While the owner and management talk a good talk, teamwork and professionalism are nowhere to be found; especially when you ask for it. It's looked upon as a sign of weakness instead of a sign of strength for admitting you need assitance -The restaurant industry is tough and grueling but can be rewarding and fun with the right atmosphere and team-Cafe Milano has neither. Especially in the corporate office where no one is there to lend a hand -only to scrutinize and succumb to the every whim and tantrum of the owner -No boundaries-will call, text, email any time and any hour until you are forced to answer -There is no room for a personal life at this job and the rewards are little to none -Employees are frightened by chefs and management, even approaching them in a professional manner and doing your job will get you screaming backlash-anger management issues are the least of it. -No creativity or room for new ideas- they are seen as a burden even though in the beginning they beg you to tell them what they should do differently

horrible place to work

Pros

Pay was good, and the environment was interesting to be around because of all the prominent people that walk in there.

Cons

management was horrible, unorganzied, owner very rude does not truly connect with employers. No respect for women and no respect for employees in the way they speak to you.

Pros

It was busy at times, and had interesting clientele.

Cons

Heavy-handed management. Carrot-and-stick training was abysmal. Tell employees exactly what the standards are, and make sure each employee follows the company way. In other words, less freelancing. Have a more precise training manual. Too much fashion meets food. It felt like a Victoria's Secret Super Bowl runway show half the time.
