Pros

There might be a few individuals who are pleasant to interact with, but they are likely to be terminated in the near future

Cons

The company portrays a façade of a close-knit family environment, but in reality, it is filled with dishonest individuals. Unfortunately, there is a lack of competent and intelligent managers. If you demonstrate your skills and actively contribute to the company's success instead of solely focusing on pleasing the owners, you are likely to face termination. Additionally, the higher management within the company is known to be two-faced, often displaying inconsistent behavior and lacking integrity. Moreover, many of the managers exhibit unprofessional and disrespectful attitudes, demonstrating a lack of education and professionalism.

Pros

Strong recipe development sustains the brand’s external image.

Cons

“Family” culture blurred professional boundaries. Insular, controlling atmosphere at times felt cult-like. Long workshops and personal exercises left no time for execution. Micromanagement limited managerial autonomy. Job security felt weak, including exits after maternity leave or positive reviews. “Anonymous” eNPS feedback reportedly led to HR leadership exit rather than improvement. Fear around honesty appeared to influence surveys and public reviews.
