      Pros

      Good Kitchen Team teamwork culture. A decent space to sharpen skills and demonstrate ability for kitchen work

      Cons

      Compulsory hours are 45 hours a week with 2 days off, but bad work culture leads to most days going for minimum of 12 hours of work per day with little to no overtime compensation . Lack of manpower means little to no freedom for off day and annual leave allocations. Very bad salary growth and promotions

      Great place to work!

      Pros

      no day is the same, you learn about other cultures, lunch provided, uniform/work attire dry cleaned

      Cons

      long hours, overtime as you have to manage your own workload, you can ask for help but others are in the same situation and you feel bad asking. Open door policy is a trick, as soon as you use it you are the problem that has to be eliminated.

      Location Determines Experience

      Pros

      Benefits, 401K match, automatic stock after a certain amount of employment time. Depending on location management determines your experience.

      Cons

      Your managers really determine your experience. Each location is owned by someone who is a third party or partners with a third party. Corporate is there to protect their own assets which is not the employee. When ever you are faced with a write up and you want to challenge it NEVER do a peer review. The review is done by a team they blanket train on policy. As a server the only way to understand is by working in that environment. Your team should be able to speak and review but they are not allowed. You can do a review from your managers but it's like the police investigating the police. You will end up leaving with some type of discipline which means you can not transfer to another location for months. Currently due to a tight budget at an AIRPORT location they refuse to hire extra help to assist with things such as food runner or barback. This means your bartenders have to set up the bar, take orders, and sometimes if the one person that (has been food running for 25+ years needs a day or two off ) run their food. You have a revolving door or managers that come from other locations that were sinking ships. Trying to implement their aloof strategy on new minds that are old minds because they have been there for 10, 25, 40+ years in the same position. The GM of the hotel has been out for months on emergency health related issues. They have increased price of food, taken away discounts, set new policies around the food and kitchen. But again the managers are miserably there, missing in action when it matters, or just getting their feet wet so they do not know much outside of the schooling they just finished. Creating misery for those that work 10+ hour days but get no over time because in Georgia the only way to get overtime is to work over 40hours, so they will work you for 6-8 days straight then give you 3-4 days off. Truly a wear and tear on your mental and body.

      This job physically isn't possible.

      Pros

      Every single person who works there is like a sit-com character. I could watch the workplace dynamics play out for hours.

      Cons

      People were fired daily for simple mistakes and because it relys on the labour of immigrants who don't always have the right to work here, it's almost impossible to hold them to account without ruining your co-workers life. You are aslso expected to work overtime for free if you don't complete all your rooms on time. The job is simply impossible - I worked 5 hours a day, I had to clean 10 rooms at a minimum which is in theory half an hour for each room, which is already pretty stretched if you work 5 days a week. However, there's a morning meeting every day, you have to wait for your sheet every day, you have to stack your trolley daily, you have to hoover and dust the corridor every day and none of this is accounted for. Literally the only way to successfully do this job is to learn what corners you can cut and try not to kill yourself with the stress of being found out.
