Pros

Local hard working staff you work with. Benefits are okay.

Cons

Terrible work / life balance. Senior management expects blood from their managers and 12 hour days are the norm. Saturday meetings are not unusual. Managers are expendable and are measured by how much can be saved by eliminating their positions. There is little recognition and morale is low. Systems are antiquated.

Pros

Love the management team, chefs, and coworkers, cant speak highly enough of them. I have a great work life balance and feel like the kitchen is stocked well.

Cons

The space i work in was badly designed and installed. About a third of the equipment doesn't work, stopped working, never worked which is unacceptable for a new place. Also the very limited fridge and freezer space in comparison to the amount of food produced per day is laughable, if it wasn't so frustrating to deal with on a daily basis.
