Pros

I recently joined Restaurant Associates and it was the best decision I ever made . The company truly cares and makes great efforts to keep their employee happy. Great support structure all around, and lots of growth opportunity. I have been in the industry for 15 years, and this is by far the best work/life balance I have had.

Cons

Do not get discourage by the lengthy hiring process

Pros

If you work the right contract the holiday schedule is nice. Never ending supply of company branded temu quality merch as gratitude for a job well done.

Cons

Tend to make knee jerk reactions in management. Upper management support is performative. Endless half useful meetings that should be emails given they tout a great work life balance but bog you down in processes that change weekly. Merit increases are measly at best. Required 50 hr work week but it’s frequently 55-60. Vacation and sick time are taken in half day intervals so leaving an hour early results in a half day loss. No real system allowing breaks for lunch. I was told i could sit down for 15 mins at the end of lunch service to eat but that is seldom achievable. HR will throw you under the bus given the first opportunity and will not support you when dealing with problematic employees. Management turnover is extremely high.
