good work, bad pay - Staff Writer Starchefs Com Employee Review

First-hand experience working with restaurants pros. Learn a lot very quickly b/c it's a small team and get a LOT exposure to what's going on in the industry. Opportunities to travel and interact with super talented people across the country. Super casual work environment, work from home Fridays, etc.

Standard small business limitations. Lower pay but more experience. Start-up vibe definitely isn't for everyone. The job is what you make of it. There are tons of opportunities to grow and learn if you take them.

This could be a really cool job if you had bosses you could respect and treated you well.

You will be underpaid and over worked- that is a guarantee. The boss pretends to be a “man of the people” but lacks any trust in his employees or flexibility. If your train comes at 6:02 and you need to leave 5 minutes early- it won’t happen. You will be gaslit by management for your basic employee rights, as the boss has never had another job and has NO idea what it’s like to work in New York. Managment is gross, manipulative, and only care about their big paychecks while the rest of their employees don’t make a liveable wage.
