Pros

This company has flexible schedules.

Cons

There is no room for growth. They also cap your pay from day one meaning you get no raises. What you start off making is what you get paid throughout the duration of your career there. There is also no benefits. Also, during my time of working there saw management setup multiple employees. They gave them instructions and the employees followed it then got fired.

Restaurant Associates Response

I am so sorry your experience did not match up with our Culture of Care. And further disappointed that the information you received is not accurate. RA promoted close to 60% of their openings last year with internal promotions; Conducts annual performance reviews with increases to pay; as well as offers full-time benefits. It would be very helpful if you could reach out to us at info@restaurantassociates.com with greater detail so we can help fix this miscommunication. thank you

Pros

If you work the right contract the holiday schedule is nice. Never ending supply of company branded temu quality merch as gratitude for a job well done.

Cons

Tend to make knee jerk reactions in management. Upper management support is performative. Endless half useful meetings that should be emails given they tout a great work life balance but bog you down in processes that change weekly. Merit increases are measly at best. Required 50 hr work week but it’s frequently 55-60. Vacation and sick time are taken in half day intervals so leaving an hour early results in a half day loss. No real system allowing breaks for lunch. I was told i could sit down for 15 mins at the end of lunch service to eat but that is seldom achievable. HR will throw you under the bus given the first opportunity and will not support you when dealing with problematic employees. Management turnover is extremely high.
