Pros

Benefits are good. Although that is only for the person working there. They do not discount having a dependent or spouse

Cons

Eataly has been going downhill for quite some time. I personally should have jumped ship a while back. They will make it very factual that you are expendable. If you’re reading this and thinking about applying please trust me it’s not worth your time. It is absolute chaos in the way it is run and management is clueless. I have vast experience and expertise of the restaurant industry and this place is the worst by far.

Great Money, good coworkers ....Poor Management, Untrained Host

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Money, Moderate Hours, Hard working Servers, Cooks , Backwaiters.

Cons

Poor training for host; they are often young and don't know how to rotate tables well. Restaurant is often short staffed (especially at lunch) and then managers wonder why there are bad yelp reviews (Hint: Too few servers + huge/ unfairly portioned sections (thanks tip pool!!) + too few poorly trained managers = UNHAPPY GUEST). Restaurant is also often out of multiple beverages at a time as well as supplies. The family meal is decent but its truly a coin flip if its gonna be good or make you sick.
