Pros

Loved the company culture of the company. The pay is reasonable but not very good for the position. Upon being hired I was promised growth and advancement but unfortunately that is only true if you work for the company for 10 + years. There is very little to no growth with in the company even though you work your butt off to impress the department managers and even preform some of the managerial tasks that an hourly employee should not be doing, such as reprimanding your office team mates.

Cons

The department manager was/is condescending, passive aggressive, micromanaging and loved to delegate most of her work to the whole office team. Her door was always closed, it was also very uncomfortable whenever the manager was in a bad mood. There was a lot of confusion with the office structure, policies and procedures because they always changed and depended on the managers mood. It became a very unhappy, monotone and hostile work environment for me. I'm sure the the girls that left with in the past four years my self included would have stayed for many more years if managers attitude and values were different.

Pros

Great atmosphere and food concept. The restaurant itself is a nice place to work in terms of the physical environment and the clientele it attracts. Some of the staff were genuinely great people to work alongside.

Cons

Management lacks the structure and accountability needed to protect employees. Workplace conflicts are not handled professionally or consistently — those who raise concerns are often penalized while problematic behavior from others goes unchecked. HR investigations feel performative rather than genuine, with outcomes that rarely reflect what actually happened. Senior leadership communicates in ways that are unprofessional and at times demeaning. There is a noticeable favoritism culture that affects scheduling, treatment, and job security. Employees who speak up about serious concerns should be prepared to face retaliation rather than support.
