Pros

Can learn skills there, but don't expect anyone to make the effort to teach you. Gotta be proactive. Nearly everyone there who were not in management was great to work with and know. Benefits package, once it kicks in, is worth the cost.

Cons

Three words: Management, management, management! My God! It is AMAZING how many of the too many managers are there who do NOT know what they are doing. A running gag while I was there (in nearly every department) was how to make management you had to test below an 80-point IQ. This lead to stupid decisions (that mostly didn't work), overly-idiotic rules, and managers who were more interested in finding a reason to fire someone then making the work environment more conducive toward excellence. Now there were some good managers, don't get me wrong. But even they would eventually look for a way to get outta there.I have more examples than space here of all the bone-headed decisions made while there. Everything they told us in orientation was a lie! And don't get me started about family meal! For such a great culinary mecca, what was mostly served to the staff wouldn't be given to inmates at Cook County Correctional without risking a lawsuit for cruel and unusual punishment!
