      Just awful - Butler Restaurant Associates Employee Review

      Pros

      Flexible schedule means you could set your own hours. Even though they never raise your pay if you take on additional duties, you can still choose when to work.

      Cons

      Some of the worst people I've ever worked with. I remember several shifts lasting over ten hours, ending at 2:00am, not getting a meal break at all, and the captains would say you could grab food on the way out. Pretty sure they violated OSHA regulations on the regular. I witnessed a lot of microaggressions towards Black employees about hair. Some weren't even that micro. Sexism was rampant. Tip theft wasn't just regular, it was the company norm. I burned my uniform when I realized I didn't have to go back.

      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.
