Pros

They give increasing responsibility to those who want it and are good at what they do. In the 3 years that I have been with the company, I have consistently been given more and more responsibility as I grew professionally. The work environment is work hard play hard. A lot is expected of you (because they care about their employees growth), but there are many things in place to help promote a fun workplace (ping pong, test kitchen, weekly lunches, Nintendo Wii, Foosball, soccer events, etc.). Upper management is always looking for ways to help everyone achieve what they are looking for in a career. In short, if you work hard and learn your role, with all the continued growth the company is constantly going through, there is no reason that this place cannot be seen as a great career. You get out of it what you put into it.

Cons

Keeping up with the growth often demands a much faster paced work environment, but this growth is also their greatest strength. It helps attract individuals wanting to start in a company, learn, and grow.

Immature Leadership Led To Poor Experience

Pros

Relaxed environment Catered lunch almost weekly Good salary Flexible hours

Cons

Young, immature managers Excessively high expectations Not enough training Rigid, unforgiving probationary period No sick time Inadequate vacation time for new employees I wasn't given enough time to develop and instead was thrown out like I wasn't even a person with feelings, bills, and untapped talent. That's not how you treat educated people who show up every day and try their best.

New employees go through a 60-day probationary period involving hands-on training and group instruction. During this time each new employee has meetings with their managers to discuss progress and training needs to give them the best chance of success at WebstaurantStore. We are happy to offer frequently flexible schedules including paid time off that employees may use for sick, personal, or vacation days. While some of our employees find they benefit from the ability to work from home at times, our employees are not expected to do additional work from home outside of their regular hours.
