      Used to be a good company - Head Chef The Big Table Employee Review

      Pros

      Used to be a good company to work for before they changed ownership and name.

      Cons

      No work life balance at all specially if you have a young family, expected to work 5 long shifts a week all with late finishes and work every weekend. Very difficult to recruit chefs as low wage and lack of interest in the chef trade, meaning longer hours for the chefs and managers. Poor decision making by senior management and poor leadership by middle management both out of touch with the running of restaurants and people they employ.

      Pros

      None I can think of. The company recently had a redundancy round and people were queuing up to leave the company to get away from the intolerable culture.

      Cons

      Nasty place to work. The same senior team who post glowing reviews on here have also been present at meetings where people are in tears, have witnessed four letter tirades emanating from the CEOs office and have themselves, in private, shared how much they dislike the business.

      Pros

      Good community and sense of job safety given size of operations

      Cons

      Lost in the crowd at times for the exact same reason it feels secure, the size of operation. No obvious and direct lines of progression
