Pros

'Cool' company, good people in venue management, great products, good for CV, good company reputation outside of hospitality industry.

Cons

Senior management, no discount (only during very specific times and only at 2/3 restaurants, zero bar discounts which is insane as they don't pay enough for their staff to afford their products now), on that note, lower than standard pay for many role types, toxic workplace behaviours accepted, how 'cool' you seem to be is essentially what gives you value, innate distrust of employees, the non-inclusive language used, problematic behaviour, not willing to take on feedback on essentially anything, very much a boys club, exclusionary culture, mental health not taken seriously and often exacerbated by culture and management, etc etc etc.

Pros

they don’t even look at your resume, you may have years of experience, but unless you’re part of the “club” you’re not invited for growth! - no pros! Maybe the staff meals, nothing else really.

Cons

Not a safe place for women. Expect to be treated less than. Expect “boys to act like boys”, exactly what’s happening, boys harassing clients, staff and acting like they are part of some kind of boy club. If you’re female expect to have to show and prove your worth, it’s a popularity contest where men are being treated with the upper hand, being promoted without experience. A clear Gender bias exists. You’re sucked in with a promise, but what happens behind the scenes is exactly how it reads on paper.

Pros

Wonderful team, great social aspect, reasonable discounts

Cons

Upper management only care about the money, push staff to their limits, squeeze everything out of staff they can. You're just a commodity and they don't care when you're struggling
