Cons
typical day for this position is getting all dirty trays from your assigned floor, delivering trays to patients, going to each room to order breaskfast/lunch/dinner, doing kitchen chores, stocking all nourishment rooms on your assigned floor, cleaning the kitchen and carts. management (specifically the 2 supervisors) are aggressive, not helpful or don't take your concerns seriously, love to micromanage, never worked as a food host and believe everything has to be perfect, has favoritism, non empathetic, keep track of all wrong doings even during training, doesn't answer questions. the coordinators hate their jobs, tries too hard to please the 2 supervisor by throwing the food host under the bus, micro manages, bullies people, gaslight people, has favoritism with people leaving early or eating food from the trayline, doesn't allow the food host to get help but requires you to help on the trayline, mis scan tickets to make it seem as if the deliveries are an hour late, etc. if you do get hired please ask to go to the b team, the coordinator is vibrant and funny and respectful. the team is upbeat and the aura is light hearted. when I got there people immediately told me the management and coordinators are racist towards black females, they always end up quitting or getting fired or transferring to another department. the culture specifically in the kitchen is "lets complaint and gossip about everyone but take no action to make a difference". the food host that are bullied and been there for 2-10 years are too afraid to report their concerns to HR BUT they will try to force new hires to do that for them. the hardest part of the job is working the 730am to 730 pm shift & 830 am to 830 pm shift because you're always 1-2 hours behind of the people working 630 shift. however the coordinators/management still expects you to be on time with the 630 pm shift. the other hard part is during training or the 3 month probationary period they expect you to have literally 0 late trays even though you're learning and new. id say if you're a black female don't come here and/or if you're kind, a hardworker, AND attractive please don't work here. it may sound silly but its 95% females in the kitchen and they all have a jealousy problem. to the point I had male dishwashers or cooks and even males outside of my department telling me how jealous they are of my b lack skin, my body, my hair and the attentive id get from malees. which I wasn't even aware of. the shifts are 12 hours with a 30 min break at 1045 am and they say you have 2 15 min breaks but if you work the 730 or 830 shift it never happens. a lot of people have quit or transfer to a different department so there's a lot of overtime. you never get recognition for helping or going out of your way and no one returns the help back to you. oh and if you work the 830 shift, after 730 you have to deliver all trays to each floor throughout the hospital. if you're on the b team they will help you and if you're on the a team no one will help you. even if you ask the coordinator to get someone to help you they'll ignore it. if you ask the 2 supervisors to get someone to help you on the a team they'll ignore you too. if you want this position just go to morton plant I heard its strict but respectful
