Pros

Literally nothing. Leaving is the best thing you can do if you get tricked into working here. Job title is severely misleading. You are not an events manager but glorified non union shift lead. You have no actual influence or decision making power. Sr. Leadership is incompetent and unprofessional. Hiring is based on prior relationships from other failed aramark accounts. Culture is discontent among managers. Employees treated like bodies, personally witnessed people fired over trivial personal biases. Amazing how they haven’t lost the navy pier account considering they lost the CPS account due to the same stuff.

Cons

Low salary MisleadIng job titles and responsibilities Disorganized and incompetent leadership High turnover No appreciation for employees Awful benefits

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
