Pros

Close to Durham region and the 401 in Scarborough. Free parking. The chef and some of the people there are genuinely nice.

Cons

The critical reviews from others are accurate. There is a reason why this place is always hiring, it is a very high turnover environment. I would not recommend this place for anyone with experience and if you are just starting out, maybe try it out for a year for your resume (I would keep looking). I can confirm: Minimal to no process, everything is basically on the fly or ad hoc (this is what they call "entrepreneurial"). High school like environment and not a good one! Lots of gossip and behind the back throwing people under the bus. Management (especially middle managers) are inexperienced at leading or coaching. Revolving door, most of the people there at the time I worked there were only there for 1-3 years. This is telling enough.
