      Pros

      The company has a good culture. People you work with are usually very nice. Once you get along, it feels like a family. Management reviews your performance every 6 month and if you do a good job, you may get a raise every time so that's a motivation. You get to enjoy free food during breaks and good employee discounts after hours.

      Cons

      It's an extremely demanding job, physically and mentally. You have to keep up with all the standards, food safety and food processing procedures, not mentioning the load of work during rush hours. You don't get to chill at work. You're expected to work constantly, be autonomous, look for work to do, not wait to be assigned tasks. The company claims to believe in the quality of its employees rather the quantity, therefore, you'd feel like you're always short of staff.

      Pros

      The people were very helpful my first few days and the job paid relatively well.

      Cons

      The hours were really long and 'rush' was always terrible so people always had to be on post.
