Pros

The brand and marketing is exciting. If you are someone who is excited for free food and small perks, those are fun. The company has solid values and does a lot of good things with serving more sustainable food. Also with promoting restaurant employees from within which leads to many hourly employees being able to advance into management and earn a good living.

Cons

There is a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion but it feels like a boys club stuck in the past. Barely any positive culture at the office. No process for corporate employees to know how to grow and advance. Recent decisions made this even worse, for example suddenly announcing a mandatory return to the office with no regard for how this would impact employees lives or morale. All employees were required to get vaccinated and those who didn't were let go, but then months later that mandate was dropped, so those employees were let go for no reason? The (female) CPO was abruptly let go with no reason given and HR was moved under other departments. Most of these employees have never even met the chief officers we report to now - total joke.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
