Pros

Great food, great locations, and amazing staff

Cons

Upper management is a complete joke. About every 9 months, the ENTIRE management structure at the company is fired or has quit. Owner will micro-manage your every step. Constant money issues within the company. Bounced paychecks are, bounced vendor checks, and incoherent decisions made from delusional senior Managers who have no experience in this industry are the norm. Favoritism and nepotism is rampant. Some salaried Managers allowed to take tables and events for tips thus creating poor morale among the staff. 60 hours or more is the norm for the Managers.

Pros

good quality food . Catering operations team amazing . Chefs are amazing.For a small company, benefits are ok.

Cons

Very weird dynamic to work for . most of the owners family works for the owner. They are great , but can also lead to standers not being the same . Most of the family seems to be able to work remote , but not available for others . The HR department is in a foreign country. They are fantastic. They also have to do the “dirty work “. If you get let go or any type of hard conversations , they are done by HR. Think about the scene in “Moneyball “ where Jona Hill is talking to a player and asks “why doesn’t the GM travel with us , so we are easier to cut “ , that’s exactly it. I was shocked at first to hear of the turn over rate , as I was enjoying my time , but learned quickly why. They give control to the wrong people . I had a senior level manager tell me they took their book of business from their former employer , not sure why they don’t think this won’t happen to them. Not my work ethic , but may work for others. No real growth potential , but great if you need to just get by . PTO is by far the worst over ever seen . You get 40 hours a year and don’t start accruing after 90 days . No 401k available.
