Pros

Tons of experience, opportunity to meet great culinary professionals

Cons

Incompetent manager, being managed by other junior employees instead of manager, lack of appreciation for hard work (in the form of steady yearly raises), expectation to work outside of office hours and on weekends without being compensated, ever, terrible office culture, lack of helpful criticism from other employees and manager (essentially you’ll be told this is bad, instead of how you can improve), backstabbing in a very small company (in order to move up? Still not sure what was the motive there)

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
