Pros

Free healthy food during your shift.

Cons

Where should I start, this was hands down the worst hospitality job in my 12yr career. No care for work life balance, poor benefits and expect to be understaffed constantly and working 70-80 hrs a week. When you say you are being over worked you management and request assistance I was told “welcome to being a head coach, figure it out”!?! I’m sorry what! How do you expect me to hire and train when I’m stuck working hourly positions just trying to make ends meet. I then requested a two week UNPAID leave to take care of my mental health because I was on a brink of a break down only to be told no it’s not allowed! That was the moment I quit, when a company that screams how caring they are won’t even allow you time off….
