Pros
-Decent pay and benefits
-Nice location in Saratoga.
-Interesting work, fast paced.
-Great food from restaurants.
-Friendly and nice restaurant staff.
-The office dog is a sweetheart.
-People seem generally willing to help if you ask if not a little startled you're talking to them on occasion.
-Owner has their grandkids by frequently, didn't bother me but some may not like the noise and chaos.
Cons
-No set employee parking.
-Bad office communication in general, for instance there was a lack of clarity on my status as part time vs full time that lasted weeks.
-Meetings are a lot of bickering and few action items in my experience.
-Typical "we love new ideas and people" business but not actually receptive to new ideas.
-There's hostility from some towards some restaurant employees; eye rolls and "just humor them."
-Huge communication gaps in marketing department. I was not given a lot of essential information even after asking for clarification multiple times.
-In marketing as well I was the occasional subject of uncomfortable and undermining jokes and comments which just kind of stunk. I was told "you won't be working here long anyway" a few times as a "joke."
-Unclear creative feedback depending on your department, a lot of: "nice but can you just...punch it up? Make it better?"
-Meetings are only planned verbally. I was just asked "are you coming?" each time and never given meeting notes.
