      Not a bad place to work

      Operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of free food (also a con for your waist line!) Great people to work with - especially on back of the house, front of the house side Somewhat flexible for a food-related job Some holidays off (also rare for a food job) Decent benefits

      Cons

      Really long days - 10 hour minimum Early mornings/late nights Lots of the regular cons with the food industry Too much free food (see #1 above) Much of upper management sucks - out of touch, too much money, very much like congress - old, white rich men You can get burned out easily

      No respect for their employees and they are never happy!! Always complaining and very disrespectful!! Let's just say all management sticks together and the employee is always wrong! I would never recommend this company to anybody!!
