Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

We’re opening a new location in Boston University, 2nd day in of doing a trial opening and less than 2 weeks on the job. The C.E.O (Jamal) comes up to me as I’m on register with my full team on the line and says “You need to help more” didn’t pull me aside to talk about what was done incorrectly. This was the first time even being in the line for this company and my first interaction with him and I’m a Manager in training. Bottom line if the C.E.O doesn’t respect someone enough to pull them aside or even let the Area Manager know what I did wrong to correct the action and have a sit down. It just shows the company culture that’s at the head and being passed down! My advice would be steer far away from the company, There are other places that will treat EVERYONE with respect. I never write reviews about any company but this was the first time not seeing a hospitality mindset to your team in a hospitality business.

Pros

The owner is a UA alumn, and will sometimes visit the location and greet everyone, which is cool. The company stands for great things. Most managers were very helpful and responsive as well as friendly, which made for a better work environment. For the most part they try to make it feel you are part of the Halal Shack family. They are adamant about upholding halal standards and are actually very clean and organized, which can't be said about many other restaurants. They hire A BUNCH of students to be able to fill the different shifts and work around students' schedules.

Cons

Some of us get used to it, but some other co-workers found it difficult to handle the food pans at such high temperatures, which we constantly had to carry and switch out. They do have oven mitts but using bare hands (with only sterile gloves) is normalized because searching for and reaching for gloves takes time, and it is a fast-paced environment for the most part. Most of the work besides actually serving the food, is very physically demanding work. Having to constantly lift heavy boxes from high shelves or low areas and constantly bending down to pick up things and clean things throughout the shifts. The amount of work, however, is not being fairly matched by the wage. Taught me to never kill my back like that again for only $11/hr. Know your worth!
