Pros
Opportunity to learn from great Chefs Decent pay/benefits Full-time hours M-F hours, No weekends required
Cons
Management was horrible I was employed there for barely a week before a manager verbally insulted and demeaned me in front of the entire kitchen staff for apparently using the wrong dishware when preparing food trays. I was so shocked by that managers reaction that I had to excuse myself to the bathroom where I actually cried uncontrollably. I was humiliated, still, I stayed there for another 2 years before a death in my family and management not allowing time off so that I could help with funeral arrangements drove me to walk out mid-shift heartbroken. I loved what I did there, left every day feeling like I accomplished something and worked with some great Chefs. I truly learned so much about the food industry there, but the management needs SERIOUS help. I've never in my life been humiliated in public and talked to the way that manager talked to me and continued to talk to me for the following 2 years after that. Food Service in Sheppard Pratt of Towson, MD is HORRIBLE. Must have super thick skin to work in their kitchen and the ability to keep your mouth shut when verbally abused by your supervisors.
