Pros

Benefits are better than most kitchens. Free bus pass is nice.

Cons

The Sous Chefs go out of the way too undermine eachother. There is no set standards for much of the menu as each Chef thinks their own way is the best and is incredibly blinded by inexperience and ego. The countless temper tantrums from the young Sous chefs degrade from the professional fine dining enviornment Sage Restaurant Group is trying to achieve. 95 percent of the kitchen managements experience has come from other Urban Farmer locations which has created a kitchen full of bad habits and uninspired chefs. Many of the "local sustainable" menu items are simply a lie unpacked from a Shamrock delivery truck.

Pros

Great people, strong culture, and exposure to a wide variety of hotels, restaurants, and ownership groups. I had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the company. There are opportunities to take on meaningful responsibility, and if you’re willing to work hard, you’ll gain tremendous experience.

Cons

As the company has grown, some departments have become stretched thin, and processes have not always evolved at the same pace. Teams can spend significant time reacting to day-to-day priorities, leaving less time for process improvement, automation, and strategic initiatives. Workloads can be demanding, particularly during peak periods.
