Great colleagues, but lacking long-term stability

Assistant general manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I had the opportunity to work alongside many talented individuals and built relationships with colleagues that I still maintain today. The people I worked with were one of the most positive aspects of my experience.

Cons

I would not recommend this company to those seeking long-term stability. During my time there, I witnessed frequent turnover across both leadership and frontline positions, including many hardworking and dedicated employees. The work environment often felt uncertain, making it difficult to build confidence in long-term career growth within the organization.

Food quality is good, but management is lacking

Business Outlook

Pros

Food can be pretty good.

Cons

Management fails to do their jobs every time, even if new ones get hired. Promised full time and gave that but only ever provided part time for over a year. Makes workload fall on one person if others dont do their jobs. Unexpected schedule changes throughout the week. Doesnt tell us when we close if we close later than normal until the day of.
