Pros

The people I worked with were great for the most part,hours were also great Monday to Friday 6am till 2:30pm

Cons

It's sad to say but management has no clue on how to run a location,i understand the big bosses out east run the show but they also have no idea what's going on in the west. Just because something is popular in Toronto does not mean it's going to sell in calgary. Wage minus cost of living does not leave you much at the end of the day out here in the west. Upper management should stop and read the writing on the wall, Standardized menu's don't work in a company this size. Aramark should have standardized menu's from the first day they opened a second location. It's sad to say but alot of good hard workers from my last location are going to loose there jobs because management is running the place into the ground

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.
