Pros

My boss is cool and works. Co-workers are friendly and also work.

Cons

Favoritism in management contributes to a toxic work environment where certain employees are mistreated without accountability. Staff are regularly pressured to work through unpaid lunch breaks, and state-mandated 10-minute rest breaks are often denied. Chronic understaffing means workers are expected to perform multiple roles, which leads to high stress and burnout. The kitchen frequently exceeds unsafe temperature levels—sometimes well over 85°F—posing serious health risks. Despite multiple reports, no meaningful actions have been taken to improve working conditions. Employees are also expected to complete required training or assessments on their own time without pay. Overall, this is a high-pressure, low-support workplace that does not prioritize employee well-being or labor law compliance.
