Pros

Management! Our locations had formed chefs as kitchen managers & they understood the hustle. If you work hard you get better raises.

Cons

If working with two companies and their two different goals and regulations sounds like stress, then it might not be the job for you.

Pros

Company culture is great if you're at a location with decent human beings and I definitely felt supported by those with the same career path. If you're at the right location the experience can be good. There was a focus on career development at the first location I worked at. Unfortunately this was overshadowed by the lack of respect and utter disdain for my role at the second one. The first place lost their contract due to internal politics- the second one probably won't but they should.

Cons

GREATLY depends on local management. The first place I worked was amazing, at the second I was constantly treated to ableist microaggressions and literally told to shut up in a meeting where both the Director and a senior manager were present, and told "no one likes me" in a meeting WHERE HR WAS PRESENT. Extremely unprofessional behavior. They will NOT back you up, and it's very clear regional management doesn't care if a location is hemorrhaging staff due to poor management practices as long as they get paid and keep the "client" happy.
