      My experience has been stressful, rewarding, and frustrating all at the same time.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work here are that the managers are really nice and funny. Everyone wants to look out for each other. Additionally, you get to interact with high status clients on a regular basis. There is also a lot of opportunities for promotions and advancement if you do your job like you are supposed to. You will get a lot of over time.

      Cons

      Overall it is very disorganized. You work with temps every day and typically not the same ones two days in a row. Therefore, you have to train them every day and they don't always want to learn. If you need something for a client it will get to you probably within an hour but if you need something to do your job it might take a few hours to a few days depending on what it is. You will get a lot of over time even if you don't want it, like 20-30 hours of overtime throughout the month of May. There is not a lot of training before you start. You basically are thrown into your position and have to sink or swim and there is no set system for how exactly to do your job.

      Pros

      Solid summer job. They'll hire just about anyone. Lots of leftovers of pretty good food.

      Cons

      Extremely disorganized. Management did not give us any direction, but expected us to intuit how the organization worked. Most servers are entitled north shore kids who don't work very hard or even show up. I have worked in a myriad of bars/ restaurants/coffee shops but I have never seen worse waste. We dumped the park's "recycling" bins into garbage bins. We dumped hundreds of uneaten platters of food. Also, we were told to "marry" bottles of wine (mixing the contents of old bottles rather than dumping them) which is unsanitary and tastes pretty terrible.

      Levy - The worst decision I ever made.

      Pros

      NONE. None. NONE. None. NONE. Others talk about the meals. It's not so great when you're the one cooking the meals in an understaffed kitchen with little workroom. A break for the back of the house would go a long way.

      Cons

      Unending hours. Rarely a day off. I average over 40,000 steps per day. EXHAUSTED!!! It would be okay if during the off season they'd allow you to rest, but they require ridiculous amounts of travel. Slow to reimburse for expenses. Travel per diem doesn't cover actual expenses. For example, per diem is typically $25/day, but airport parking is $15/day and that must be paid with the per diem. $10 left to buy food in an airport? Ridiculous. No time for family. I have missed EVERY concert and activity my kids have had. Required to work holidays if there is an event or an event the following day. No comp time policy. Told to request vacation 30 days in advance, but are told five days in advance that you will be traveling for two weeks. Can't make plans because you never know what demands they will place on you next. Don't ask about them keeping their hiring promises or you will be told, "Welcome to Levy." New hire letter said I would learn of bonus plan within a couple weeks of hire. Never happened. No one seems to have the integrity to comply with their hiring promises. Costly benefit premiums and lousy insurance. If you have a good work ethic, Levy will WALK ALL OVER YOU! I wish I would have known how horrible this company was before I moved my family across the country. The only thing I can bank on is my wife being unhappy and her regular tears over the frustration. Working for Levy is the biggest regret of my life and I have over 20 years of similar account management experience.
