ATK: A Mixed Bag - Anonymous employee America's Test Kitchen Employee Review

In-office benefits like food tastings and equipment giveaways are the icing on the cake; environment is supportive, kind and delicious

Hard to think of any!

the people who are not in the C-suite or in management are the best, most kind, funny, caring, and hardworking people you will ever meet. they are the ONLY reason you stay for so long. you get food sometimes but it's after it's been moved and manipulated for photoshoots so it's always cold and touched a lot.

literally everything else they fired basically every person of color who was on the TV program or outward-facing in media they completely removed two brands out of nowhere (cook's country and ATK kids) and did not move the test cooks into the other brands for some reason management is awful, they don't trust their employees and they breathe down your neck to make sure that you're doing a good job all the while they want you to do awful work that you can't even stand by the pay is horrible and the insurance is worse. usually you get paid 10-20 thousand dollars less than anywhere else in your position. they basically removed all the perks they used to have the new C-suite is running the company into the ground, they are removing what makes ATK special. they want to be as successful as bon appetit and epicurious but they're not willing to put in the work. all of their best employees are leaving because of the poor salary and horrible treatment and the C-suite just doesn't care. if you are not looking to advance your career and want to be treated badly and with mistrust, this is the perfect place for you.
