Pros

If you love cooking then it's a good job to have.

Cons

It's a disgusting place to work at. Everything is frozen but most is expired products that they tell you to go ahead and use anyways. The salad they leave overnight in their refridg. to use the limp lettuce and stiff cheese the next day. They over hire which means they lay off constantly and the kitchens are filled with fellow employees making it hard to do your job right. Fellow employees will also come into your work area which makes it easier for you to get blamed for their mistakes they leave in your area when you come back to it, management is chewing your butt. Which brings me to my next statement that management is always chewing you for absolutely nothing. Giving you a hard time and having favorites. On top of that there are many other reasons that i will never work there again other than the constant cussing in the kitchen and yelling, fighting, and favoritism.

Pros

This job is great overall and I really attribute a lot of the positive atmosphere to the retail manger! Lazondra is the best! She is incredibly kind, encouraging, and understanding! You’ll feel very welcome starting here! She wants the best for the store, but also the best for you as a person! She’s also definitely not afraid to get out there and help out the team! Love her!

Cons

Sometimes it’s a little slow work wise, not that the restaurant itself is slow, but you can only refold the same shirt and check on the same shoppers so many times.
