      Pros

      Reliability among the team the shifts flow better, making the set hours and consistent schedule feel less like a rigid requirement and more like a true benefit.

      Cons

      you are performing repetitive tasks (mass-producing standardized menus with potentially lower-quality ingredients) without the trade-off of good experience or good pay.

      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.
