Fantastic Kitchen to work in

Recommend

Pros

The benefits are fantastic for kitchen workers, because the industry standard is pretty terrible. The work life balance is amazing, and overtime is discouraged. The vast majority of employees are amazing people, who treat the kitchen employees with respect and kindness. I love all the perks Sweetwater offers, ranging from the massive Holiday Party, all the way down to tastings to enjoy the newest product a food/beverage company offers.

Cons

Some employees have a sense of entitlement and treat the kitchen staff like we are lesser people.

Pros

We used to get spiffs, but I've heard they just keep those now and add them to inventory, but you can still get it at cost. You meet a ton of cool people.

Cons

Zero- and I mean zero- work life balance. Eh.
