Pros

You get a paid, which is a good thing in this environment. Other than that... it is really hard to find anything else that is positive about this place

Cons

Sweat shop mentality. If you like being in an environment where highly educated people are treated like those sweatshops you see in "60 minutes", than this is the place for you.

Pros

The food was good and there was a real strong bond among employees. Most times things were done inspite of Sr Management.

Cons

Gate gourmet is the worst place I have ever worked. I was ignored. It took over 9 weeks to finish my office. It took six weeks to get a computer. Then when I provided a list of "things needed to turn my department around I received nothing. The management at SFO does not support its workers. You must be one of the "in crowd" to get anything of value. Favortism and affairs riddle the Senior management team
