Pros

-decent staff meals -clean locker rooms (At least the womens room) -security 24/7 made it a safe place to work -incentive program wasn't bad, but you need a ton of their "bucks" for it to even be worth anything offered.

Cons

-Heavily male dominated kitchen, and not in a good or inclusive way. Not a single chef or sous chef is female. Very "good old boys" club -conflict resolution, when you do have a conflict, is half-*sssed by HR -training as a new kitchen employee is minimal, there are no standard recipe books, you don't get chef jacket or pants, you have to buy all your stuff on your own. -Pastry kitchen is small, cramped, hot and unorganized -the head chef for Harriman's is an *ssh*le-he is biased toward his team and thinks everyone else is useless/stupid -the pay is not competitive -supervisors and management are not very understanding if you are sick/get covid. the just need bodies in the back.

Pros

Really felt like family working for Salamander, and the financial compensation is definitely worthwhile.

Cons

There will be slow seasons and busy seasons, but that is quite common for any career in hospitality.
