Pros

Few people who work as cook or prep in the central kitchen on Bloor are very nice. But when it comes to management... that's where the problem abide.

Cons

Low salary, harassment and management that treats you like you know nothing and you are nobody. Unless you are a white Canadian you won't be promoted. Period. And be very careful if you try to make the HR aware of the problems there, because the management will wait for few months and then fire you without a reasonable explanation (aka "vengeance"). I don't give 5 years for this place to be shut down.

Pros

Amazing managers who listen and care for their employees

Cons

None! Best job I’ve had and would work there 100% hands down if I still lived in the city. It gets insanely busy but it comes with the territory

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
