Pros

You can get a lot of hours, it is steady work. They offer a wonderful great tasteing unique product

Cons

Starting with the owners and throughout the entire corporate leadership, there is a corruption and an abusive mentality. They are masters at manipulation, they spin the truth, outright lie,and cheat their employees. They will promising you whatever they need to get you to do what they want. They will agree to what terms seems reasonable and then never deliver but offer every excuse in the world. For all intent and purposes they are the prime example of a turn and burn company. They will tell you your Passos on salary then when confronted they will tell you you are paid hourly. It is most likely that you will end up working between 60 and seventy hours a week and only make $600 or $700. They will promise to reimburse you for gas and never pay it, or ask you to by supplies and never repay you. You need to document everything record all communications to protect yourself

Pros

Traveling up and down So Cal, mostly LA, but don’t expect regular hotels, it’s all Motel 6 and Motel 8 all the way, some of them were really sketchy at night.

Cons

Working condition, they didn’t provide you a lot of proper safety equipment since you’re standing for a long period of time, but they will have the cutting table lower than your waist, so for a long time you my develop back pain and other issue related Secondly would be cleanliness, they use left over vegetable oil from previous show for the next one since they constantly putting out new roadshow. Thirdly, they made you pay for your own gas then have you take pictures and get reimbursed, the process was slow, sometimes they skipped and missed your payments, when you reminded them, they said yes, then ignored it, they still owed me gas money which dated back in 2019, never heard from it again. Finally, they hired friends and relatives to run their business, if you’re not Armenians, you can’t understand what they were communicating amongst themselves, sometimes they said bad things about you.

Pros Response: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding our motel accommodations. We strive to maintain high standards across all our locations; however, we recognize that experiences may vary. It is indeed challenging to determine which locations may be safer than others, as conditions can fluctuate. Please be assured that the safety and well-being of our employees and guests remain our top priority. In the event of any unsafe situation, we have protocols in place to promptly address the issue, including relocating employees to alternative motels that meet our safety criteria. 😊 Cons Response: **We use tables used by the entire industry. They are all the standard 30" high. For those who are taller we do provide table intentions. 😊 Secondly would be cleanliness, they use left over vegetable oil from previous show for the next one since they constantly putting out new roadshow. **The oil we use has a 12-month shelf life once opened. We pour only what's needed to heat samples. No point in discarding the fresh unused oil in the jar. 😊 Thirdly, they made you pay for your own gas then have you take pictures and get reimbursed, the process was slow, sometimes they skipped and missed your payments, when you reminded them, they said yes, then ignored it, they still owed me gas money which dated back in 2019, never heard from it again. **On the event that a staff members drove to work; they are always reimbursed for fuel. 😊 Finally, they hired friends and relatives to run their business, if you’re not Armenians, you can’t understand what they were communicating amongst themselves, sometimes they said bad things about you. **We are a family-owned business for over 75 years. We also take pride in having a diversified staff from all backgrounds. 😊 Advice to Management Response: I am writing to formally address and clarify our company's position regarding legal matters related to employment. We want to assure you that any lawsuit brought before us has been immediately resolved in our favor. This outcome underscores our strict adherence to all employment laws and regulations. Please be assured that we do not break any employment laws, and we continuously strive to maintain the highest standards of compliance and ethical practices in all our operations. Our commitment to fair and lawful treatment of all employees remains unwavering. 😊 **We appreciate any and all input from current and past employees. 😊
