Pros

Brassica has an excellent working environment. The managers are friendly and understanding and they have a knack for hiring the friendliest, funniest people in Columbus. They also care genuinely about how each of their team members are doing at work and in their personal lives and work hard to ensure that everyone is being challenged at work. The shifts are busy but fun and they fly by. It feels great to work at a restaurant that the city (and state) loves!

Cons

You will be asked to work hard on each and every shift, but that makes each day feel rewarding. Some of the attire and grooming standards can feel strict, but most have solid reasoning behind them.

Pros

There is plenty of training and clear expectations. They usually staffed us well. Free meal during your shift. The most fun food service job I had.

Cons

There were strict dress code and appearance guidelines (not just for food safety purposes, but limiting the number of earrings we could wear and hair/belt colors).

Pros

They offer a competitive salary

Cons

- No sick time, illness results in resentment as the uncovered shift falls on the shoulders of someone else who had the day off. - Standards are different at every location making it unclear what is right/wrong when being transferred around/asked to cover - There is a salary cap unless you suggest quitting. Pay is inconsistent across the AOO level, some making more than OOs and tenured AOOs making less than brand new AOOs - It is a small company and rely on trickle down communication that often turns into a game of telephone. - Veteran leadership was trained completely differently than new leadership resulting in unclear standards and confusion. - Stores that are improperly staffed use leadership (training or from other stores) as free labor as to avoid upping labor costs, placing more on the middle man. - burnout is treated as a character flaw - areas of responsibility (schedule writing/inventory and COGS/repairs and maintenance) are not taught, just distributed - Being a yes man gets you more hours in unfamiliar understaffed improperly run locations, rather than more compensation. Being inflexible and allows for more work life balance. - Leadership is known to dangle promotion carrots far before it is feasible with unclear timelines and often no clear path - health coverage is mediocre
