      Pros

      Valuable Experience: Being part of the team from the beginning has provided a wealth of experience in leadership and restaurant operations. Diverse Exposure: Working in a multi-concept restaurant offers a broad understanding of different business areas, from fast food to full-service dining and bar management. Opportunities for Growth: The challenges faced have given a chance to learn and grow, with the potential for future development in managerial roles. Leadership Development: Gaining experience in team leadership and development is a key strength and provides valuable skills for future roles.

      Cons

      Overworked & Underpaid: The workload is demanding, with long hours and little time off. There's a lack of clear compensation adjustments despite the heavy workload. Limited Support: There is a noticeable lack of support from upper management, and many team members are not fully developed in their roles, which makes it difficult to focus on growing the team. Operational Challenges: The restaurant faces consistent issues with broken systems, unreliable technology, and infrastructure problems, which can severely impact daily operations. Lack of Career Clarity: There is a lack of clear career advancement opportunities or a structured path for development, leaving employees unsure of long-term prospects. High Turnover & Team Instability: Frequent turnover, combined with underdeveloped team members, creates instability, leading to additional stress and challenges for remaining staff.

      Pros

      I got to try refreshers for free that’s it

      Cons

      I was put on 5 8 hope shifts in my first week. The manager, assistant manager, and my coworker all instructed me to do different tasks every few minutes that overlapped someone else’s instructions (in which I was never properly trained to do the tasks). There was an Uber Eats order and the woman was telling me, but I wasn’t allowed to do that yet so I got the AA, he had me pack the order and left me. Turns out I forgot half the order, which I was trying to avoid in the first place and my manager got mad, and he called me slow. Everyone acts like they hate you, you’re an inconvenience. The cherry on top of it all was I was denied my meal in my meal period. I asked for it and the AA just told me to “go sit down.” horrible.
