Pros

They have health insurance and you get paid every 2 weeks. There are a few great employees who care and are good to work with.

Cons

Poor training of all staff. Sub par employees with no work ethic. No support from upper management. Company only cares about making money not about quality of product being served.

Business Outlook

Pros

Best reason to work here as a supertor manager you get $20 a day to eat at any restaurant in the terminal. You can't have premium items like Steak or seafood.

Cons

You are nit appreciated by management. As a supervisor and manager you are not appreciated by the Ops or directors who sit upstairs at their desks. They will see you working hard with minimal staff sometimes no one at all just the manager and not care about the situation.
