Frost Bank Center-ARAMARK

Pros

Saying you work with the San Antonio Spurs. That's it. Spurs front office is amazing, and their culture is First Class.

Cons

This ARAMARK venue has a hostile work environment, that plays favorites and has zero training. Solely created by an incompetent GM, that supports nepotism, encourages and breeds gossip, lacks real leadership, and expects salaried managers to work 7 days a week, 12-16 hrs. a day on back to back to back events. The GM is a joke and puts on a 'dog and pony' show for the corporate visits and then berates, belittles, and undermines the staff under him. He has created an atmosphere that rewards and encourages a Zero Life Balance. Unfortunately the management under him mirrors his behavior, thus creating a revolving door of managers there. The absolute worst culture I have ever witnessed. Don't do it to yourself, the atmosphere is toxic. And until ARAMARK removes the cancerous GM that culture will continue to suffer. An absolute mockery of the hospitality industry who treat the hourly and salaried staff like "slaves". Just Pathetic. 1 Star is a gift. There was no 0 Star ranking.

Pros

Hours and co-workers are the only good thing about this company.

Cons

Greed has consumed this company. The CEO is not one bit concerned about the employees, customers or long term outcome. Everything is in the now and moral is just not good. Everyday I hear co-workers saying how they wish they had another job lined up. Others saying that get no support from management and are fed up with it. This company used to care about it's employees and customers, now we are all numbers. Numbers for the greed that all sit at the big table. It's truly sad to see what has become of this company. Time for changes and it needs to start at the top, and work it's way down.

Schedule is nice if you need flexibility

Cons

Executive management is horrible. Unorganized and little support from Corporate considering this is the largest K-12 account. Does not protect employees from client. Toxic environment. Pay is unfair and unevenly distributed. High turnover of Executive Management.
