Pros
The brand and marketing is exciting. If you are someone who is excited for free food and small perks, those are fun. The company has solid values and does a lot of good things with serving more sustainable food. Also with promoting restaurant employees from within which leads to many hourly employees being able to advance into management and earn a good living.
Cons
There is a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion but it feels like a boys club stuck in the past. Barely any positive culture at the office. No process for corporate employees to know how to grow and advance. Recent decisions made this even worse, for example suddenly announcing a mandatory return to the office with no regard for how this would impact employees lives or morale. All employees were required to get vaccinated and those who didn't were let go, but then months later that mandate was dropped, so those employees were let go for no reason? The (female) CPO was abruptly let go with no reason given and HR was moved under other departments. Most of these employees have never even met the chief officers we report to now - total joke.
