Pros

The people you get to meet and work with.

Cons

Their are no pros at this company unless you are Italian or from Italy. I hope that our LA People read this and understand they are the most prejudice company I have ever been employed with. DO NOT PUT in the extra hours at open, Actually start a Union before they try and convince you that is not the right thing to do. They only reward their own. It is a disgusting company as far as I am concerned which is terrible since it was such a good idea.. I was an Eataly advocate, but they are terrible under their current leadership and have no idea how to reward people who work for them!

Pros

The only good thing is that the name looks good on the resume.

Cons

Management is horrible, unfair, and would display a certain level of favoritism. Management tends to overlook the good employees and micromanage instead of advising them. They would overwork their staff and provide very little pay or no overtime. There are always long hours that are usually 10-11 hours but very little pay even if it's short staffed. The company has a very high turn over and would do a good job making you feel replaceable, unappreciated, and unvalued. You have to ask management for an evaluation in order to get a raise (not a good one) and it feels like a process. There's no growth in the company, they used to offer a myriad of staff classes but they either had very little or no classes. They had free lunch but mostly not very good.
