Pros

Easy to get hired, easy work. Lots of cheerleading and pep rallying. There were tons of great cooks at the Tempe location and pot lucks were always amazing. Company will hire applicants with a valid medical marijuana card if the job is not in a "safety sensitive" position. Decent benefit package and PTO.

Cons

You will be told to accept a position that may be below your experience level and promised a fast track to advancement. "Company policy", they'll say. What they don't tell you is that you have to work there for at least one year before they will consider you for any advancement. If you are already an experienced professional, you will probably end up with a Team Lead that is younger and less experienced than you are. For me, working here felt like I was always being dangled an unattainable piece of cheese.

Pros

Comprehensive benefits Generous amount of PTO

Cons

Income does not match current cost of living. Work could be completely remote, but isn’t. If you perform well, more will be asked of you with no compensatory incentive. Poor transitions during company acquisitions. Toxic hierarchal work environment.
