Just keeps getting worse..

Pros

Honestly maybe the only good thing was the location and view of downtown. The company had much promise 20 years ago, but now is a complete joke.

Cons

Zero respect by management and constant backstabbing by co-workers. Management would constantly lie to get workers they couldn't control terminated with 'just cause'. Other supervisors and workers would work together to spread lies and claim racism in order to get more hours and benefits. HR was pathetic as they would never listen to the workers and only support management like pets. Servers would hide in order to avoid doing their duties and claim they were on a coffee break... but management again would not care. Terrible system for scheduling and constant payroll errors.

Pros

Brag about working at the 'new stadium' in Santa Clara. Free employee parking within walking distance. FREE Hot dogs and soda until you can't even look at them for the rest of your life. Easy uniform.

Cons

Awful co-workers who are lazy, young and no experience. Stressed management with constant turnover. ILLEGAL long hours in this location with NO BREAKS and sometimes no lunch due to short-staffing (which is a regular occurance). Workers hired if they have a pulse (prison, mentally challenged, etc). Minimal training and NO ONE wants to clean at the end of the night.
