Pros

Literally nothing. Leaving is the best thing you can do if you get tricked into working here. Job title is severely misleading. You are not an events manager but glorified non union shift lead. You have no actual influence or decision making power. Sr. Leadership is incompetent and unprofessional. Hiring is based on prior relationships from other failed aramark accounts. Culture is discontent among managers. Employees treated like bodies, personally witnessed people fired over trivial personal biases. Amazing how they haven’t lost the navy pier account considering they lost the CPS account due to the same stuff.

Cons

Low salary MisleadIng job titles and responsibilities Disorganized and incompetent leadership High turnover No appreciation for employees Awful benefits

Pros

Most of the employees are so untrained and bad at their jobs that if you’re good you can skate by doing the minimum. In fact they will force you to do the minimum

Cons

Top heavy organization that promotes fry cooks up to corporate with no training. You’ll see incompetence here that you won’t believe. They take down high performers to their level and the services they create are so bad that it’s a matter of time before you get laid off. Has no bearing on quality of your work. You’ll get cut while people who have no skills any other company would accept stay.
