Pros

Free lunch Monday through Thursday, great coworkers, free parking, located in the Downtown area, corporate bonus, as well as a Christmas bonus.

Cons

Lack of employee empowerment, toxic work culture, most managers fend for themselves and not employees (not good leadership), entry level employees aren't as valued by the company as they should be, little to no work/life balance, employees are expected to overwork themselves for the same basic pay and an average annual raise, average compensation and lack of growth opportunities. Rather than compromising on any issues, HR will side with management on EVERYTHING, even when they're wrong. They currently hire managers and executives that are capable to do the job but DON'T fit the culture at all. There is a lack of minorities and women promoted to leadership roles. Diversity is NEEDED in this day and age. I'm not sure how they expect to grow and develop innovative ideas without them.

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m empowered to make my own decisions without being second-guessed, which allows me to truly drive meaningful change. The team I work with is phenomenal—collaborative, supportive, and passionate. I feel like I’m making a real impact every day and contributing to something that’s scaling in a big way. It’s rare to find a role where you have both autonomy and influence, and I’m grateful to be part of it

Cons

Staffing can be a real challenge. Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be. You wear many hats such as food catering and procurement can be especially demanding in busy seasons. The business is market-driven, the volume swings can be intense. It’s tough to staff appropriately without putting strain on the team. Still, if you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving tough problems, there’s a lot of opportunity here.
