The company truly values its employees, offering numerous opportunities for growth and development. The training programs are comprehensive and have helped me advance in my career quickly. The work environment is supportive and collaborative. My colleagues and supervisors are always willing to lend a helping hand and offer guidance when needed.

Additionally, the benefits package is competitive, and the company continuously seeks feedback from employees to make improvements. If you're looking for a place where you can grow your career in the hospitality industry, Restaurant Associates is an excellent choice.

Pros

If you work the right contract the holiday schedule is nice. Never ending supply of company branded temu quality merch as gratitude for a job well done.

Cons

Tend to make knee jerk reactions in management. Upper management support is performative. Endless half useful meetings that should be emails given they tout a great work life balance but bog you down in processes that change weekly. Merit increases are measly at best. Required 50 hr work week but it’s frequently 55-60. Vacation and sick time are taken in half day intervals so leaving an hour early results in a half day loss. No real system allowing breaks for lunch. I was told i could sit down for 15 mins at the end of lunch service to eat but that is seldom achievable. HR will throw you under the bus given the first opportunity and will not support you when dealing with problematic employees. Management turnover is extremely high.
