The Company to Work For if You Don't Want to Enjoy Work

Pros

Most work schedules are better for people who want to work with food that do not want to work restaurant hours (weekends, holidays, evenings).

Cons

Mediocrity and bad behavior are frequently rewarded while hard working employees just get more work added on (for no extra pay). I've seen racist employees chasing down school students, managers stealing equipment and product, managers sleeping at the job, and managers/employees who are utterly incapable of doing a proper job. Not only do you get admonished for bringing this up, but the worst of the worst are usually promoted or given awards/gratitude. Bad behavior is never punished. Very few people in the multiple Metz Accounts I've worked at have a neutral attitude, let alone a positive one. Most of the managers and upper management cultivate a nasty, negative work environment and you will dread going into work each day. If pursuing management, you will be expected to go help other accounts and are likely to receive zero help from anyone. Your superiors will not care. If you get help from anyone, they will try to take all of the credit even if they contribute 10% of the overall work. You will also likely be working 60-70 hours a week with a crap salary as a reward. From personal experience, when you decide to leave, you will be asked to stay longer to train the new manager who will make more than you.

Pros

Great Life/work Balance, fair pay, GREAT hours, and very laid back work environment. I work for a school cafeteria and was blessed to have the opportunity for full time and at a great school off the bat. Not all will have this experience, but the company will work with you if changes need to be made. Make sure you're on time and willing to pitch in and work as a team, you will find this work easy and satisfying. The children are awesome. The job is not strenuous or demanding, so what the starting rate is fair going off that the minimum wage for PA is still, at the time of this posting, 7.25. If you get into the school cafeteria scene through Metz , the hours are great I'm home by 1:45 everyday. Great for moms or if you need to work around a family's schedule.

Cons

Lacks Advancement if you are looking for a manager/sup positions. That was not something I was personally looking for so this "con" isn't really a big deal in my book. Sometimes personalities will clash, but that's not something the company can control unless brought to their attention. They do recommend trying to resolve issues before escalating, but will step in if needed.
