Pros

As with any job, you may land among cool colleagues. Most wind up at Eataly due to interest in food and culture. Idealism has brought a lot of people here. There is a growth mentality but no $ to support it

Cons

There are some very nasty people at all levels of management, narcissistically coexisting in silence while working hard to undermine one another and their teams in a weird "I-told-your-so" environment where no one can share anyone else's success. Silos and divides in the weirdest places. A great place to wind up if you love Italian fruit leather but can't handle seeing your coworkers have a win. If you have management experience and like breathing down necks (frequently those of recent felons hired sans interview for minimum wage and a sweet corporate tax break, sometimes just those of skilled professionals who thought this company sounded awesome) that you hold at impossible standards, this is a great spot for you. To anyone who expects a cut of tips that meets some reasonable legal standard... don't.

Pros

Amazing managers who listen and care for their employees

Cons

None! Best job I’ve had and would work there 100% hands down if I still lived in the city. It gets insanely busy but it comes with the territory
