Immature Leadership Led To Poor Experience

Pros

Relaxed environment Catered lunch almost weekly Good salary Flexible hours

Cons

Young, immature managers Excessively high expectations Not enough training Rigid, unforgiving probationary period No sick time Inadequate vacation time for new employees I wasn't given enough time to develop and instead was thrown out like I wasn't even a person with feelings, bills, and untapped talent. That's not how you treat educated people who show up every day and try their best.

New employees go through a 60-day probationary period involving hands-on training and group instruction. During this time each new employee has meetings with their managers to discuss progress and training needs to give them the best chance of success at WebstaurantStore. We are happy to offer frequently flexible schedules including paid time off that employees may use for sick, personal, or vacation days. While some of our employees find they benefit from the ability to work from home at times, our employees are not expected to do additional work from home outside of their regular hours.

Pros

The work environment is conducive to learning. I've never felt chastised for asking questions. Everyone is happy and willing to help if there's a problem I can't solve myself. In addition to the salary, the intangible benefits of working here make it easy to come in to work everyday. They seem to care about how they treat their employees and it makes a workday enjoyable. I've recommended this as a first job to a few friends who are still in school.

Cons

Some days are challenging. This seems to be the case with every career though. On an off day, it can be a little draining if the entire day is filled with angry customers, but the rewarding part of the job is turning them into satisfied customers by the end of the conversation. Fast paced work environment can be tiring occasionally, but overall its not overwhelming.

Best company I've ever worked for

Pros

This growing company provides many opportunities for personal and professional growth almost constantly. The senior/upper management truly cares about its employees and asks for feedback all the time in 1-on-1 meetings. They provide an enjoyable work environment because by making employees happy they receive the best work ethic from the employees. They work with you with regard to family/educational necessities and have a relaxed work environment. This is honestly the best company I have been a part of and I could not be happier here!

Cons

A challenge, not necessarily a problem, is that with continued growth comes an increase in work load. This is a challenge presented to all growing companies and WEBstaurant Store works to hire more employees to keep up with that growth
