Pros

Impossible to get fired. Slackers get rewarded The bigger bully you are the more you'll succeed and move up in the chain of command. One way to get into FIFO work

Cons

Not paid properly All lower to senior managers treat you like cannon fodder All managers prefer to backstab you instead of acting professional and treating your claim or problem Intentions are to please client only at the cost of staff Extreme high turn over which says alot. Managers will always pick your clients side no matter what the argument or the story is the client will win hands down. Managers will always get special treatment (free beer, food, frequent flyer points etc) Managers get all the credit, managers work less hours than workers.

Pros

Benefits, if you are full time.

Cons

Abusive District Manager ( 7 different Catering Managers in the last 3 years) Low income….long hours..weekends, 5am starts. Office in Basement of building by smelly loading dock. Consistently disorganized and under staffed. Kitchen staff, changes every 3 months….also poorly treated and underpaid. Human resources protect management and leave employees in dangerous and abusive situations. no loyalty…firing of decades long staff to hire cheaper labour. There is a Core Values manual..they do not follow it. oh yeh….and if they agree on an amount you will be paid…check your contract because that will change the second you get your first cheque.

Pros

Salary and likeminded colleagues- which leads to Good sense of humour unless you want to turn into one of them...a grey robot seems to be the thing of the moment.....

Cons

Too many to talk about- mainly that your bosses would sell their own mother to save their skins so watch your back!!!
