U of A - Kitchen Staff Aramark Employee Review

The chef that hired me lied about the role and job duties for my position. Supervisors are allegedly not to be doing all the cooking, meanwhile i'd been executing breakfast, lunch and dinner by myself at least 2x a week. There is no time for the expected "supervisor" duties. Your breaks are unpaid, and you are charged $3.50 per day for staff meal even if you do not eat the food there. It is a seasonal business with a potential layoff during Christmas and another layoff during the summer break of I believe July - September. You'd think because of this, the hourly pay would be a bit more competitive. Not the case. By the 3rd month in, a large handful of staff walked out or quit. It took months to get new staff in, and most are below average workers. We went through 3 managers over the course of 4 months with constant (and often times, pointless) operational changes that has pushed me to a breaking point of no longer caring for the job since most staff around me were hardly keeping up with their basic expectations and clearly show lack of care. The team includes a huge majority of immigrant hires that even though worked there for 1+ years can still hardly understand or read english to a point of frustration. Apparently their budget for this specific location is so screwed, so they are regularily out of basic items such as salt, gloves, cloths and grill cleaner. At least once a week. It was an absolute embarrassment to not be able to do your job correctly. Do not even consider applying here. The staff all collectively agree that it's a bad workplace and will leave the moment they have an offer elsewhere.
