Pros

Union pay scale. Health benefits were good.

Cons

Management often racist and disorganized. If you are a hard worker you are only rewarded with extra work.

Pros

Most coworkers were friendly and supportive, but there was one sous chef at the Yaletown location whose attitude made the work environment uncomfortable and difficult especially for younger female staff members.

Cons

- Run away. They will be so nice and kind when they try to get you in. But once you start working there, the attitude completely changes. Employees are treated more like machines than human beings. Management shows very little care for staff well-being or health. - Minimum wage with lots of deduction, Union fee and etc. - Really hard to request a time-off or sick leave - Demanding customers - Staff turnover is extremely high. It feels like 4–5 people quit every month, so be prepared to pick up the extra workload and cover the gaps left behind.
