Pros

Having nights off. Good muffins.

Cons

Sold on so-called "focus on our people" culture. Nothing could be further from the truth. Training is a joke. No structure, no communication. Sign on if you like spending most of your day absorbing labor cost by prepping, cooking and cleaning the kitchen at the end of the day. Impatient with learning of cooking skills and expectations of progress were totally unrealistic. MIT candidates watch out. They want a COOK who has management experience not the other way around.
