Pros

Opportunity to build customer-service experience and learn fast in a busy environment. Clear routines and structure once you understand the workflow. Co-workers can be supportive and helpful when communication is good.

Cons

Inconsistent communication from management can create confusion, especially during shift changes or policy updates. They held meetings once a week but they also made up rules on the spot nearly every day. Clear favoritism among certain supervisors, which affects who gets corrected vs. who gets overlooked.

Pros

-gained valuable experience within the hospitality and food and beverage industry which is a plus -made some lasting friendships with coworkers and learned so much from them

Cons

Where do I even begin?? This place has had a new manager every year with turnout in managerial roles. Employees who have shown loyalty to this company and provided years of hard work and dedication were given no support when asked, managers preach positive company culture but can't be bothered to even acknowledge your existence, keep you in the dark about major decisions, and only care to step up if it benefits/makes them look good to upper management. Those in upper management were awful, unprofessional, demeaning, petty, and selfish. Support was never given, accountability is never taken, communication was non-existent, and manager was insane. Too much more for me to say, but even if you're desperate for a job, DO NOT WORK HERE!
