Pros
About the only good thing is a little autonomy born totally out of their lack of management and care for the trade. You might be left alone and have to fill in the holes of their bullsh menus and fraudulent claims of being professional...if any of that is positive.
Cons
These "professionals" are frauds and will lie cheat and steal to get long standing fraternities and sororities to sign a contract with them. They will then lie to upstanding cooks and aspiring chefs to get them to do their dirty work while getting a marginal "salary" that may or may not include summers paid off which is included in said salary. Their operation is a sham and I believe they are burning good people from Boston to Seattle with no regard of quality or a thread of moral fiber....THEY ARE FLAT OUT CHEATS. To all you cooks and organization boards I assure you that you will be lied to and cheated and by the time you realize you've been duped your pockets and your talent will be empty and wasted. The two scammers on the end of the phone and the hacks they get to sweet talk people are terrible human beings making money off screwing people. I have long quit this circus...quit not fired, because of the total fraudulence of these empty scum bags. I am happy now with a better job and life and I'm doing this to warn people, Do NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE AND CHASE THEM OFF YOUR CAMPUS AND OUT OF YOUR TOWN!
