Pros

Excellent Training Programs and opportunity for advancement. The Support Staff is responsive and works with units to reach goals. Strict enforcement of local/state regulations. Upper Management is reachable and responds to all concerns. You get out of it what you put into it. If you work hard and support others you can continue to grow with the company. This is no company for those who want to sit back and collect a paycheck. The standards are set high and the expectation is that you surpass them, that should be your goal if you are looking to be a fit with RA.

Cons

I have been with the company 15+ years at different locations and I have seen it grow and develop and really perfect many of their systems, they are always working to improve. Things aren't always perfect, but they work to resolve and improve constantly. I don't have any notable cons.

Pros

Love the management team, chefs, and coworkers, cant speak highly enough of them. I have a great work life balance and feel like the kitchen is stocked well.

Cons

The space i work in was badly designed and installed. About a third of the equipment doesn't work, stopped working, never worked which is unacceptable for a new place. Also the very limited fridge and freezer space in comparison to the amount of food produced per day is laughable, if it wasn't so frustrating to deal with on a daily basis.
