Pros
- HR has very nice people. Upper management in general are great. - Occasional goodies given out to employees. - Free meals. - Flexible Scheduling - Job Security I worked as a Cashier at the ORACLE Arena doing events such as the Warriors games and Disney on Ice. I was with them for a little over six years, and I really liked the upper management staff for the most part. HR had some of the nicest people who are understanding and kind. When I left for two years to finish my education, I was able to jump right back into work after doing the necessary annual training sessions. This is great for people like me who were going to university but still wanted to stay employed. They also let you pick your own days, which was an added bonus for a busy college student.
Cons
- No healthcare benefits (at least none that I qualified for). - Rude co-workers who expect others to pick up their slack. - Stagnating wage growth. - No career growth opportunity. - Hardly any recognition for doing the job well. - Employee goodies got less and less the more years I worked. My biggest gripe with Levy is how many of the actual people I worked alongside with varied greatly. More often than not, I was paired with people who would not complete their duties and leave early without any proper punishment for doing so. People, such as myself, who had to pick up on their slack were not recognized at all for our efforts. There are also some supervisors who will force their "help" upon you to get some cut of the tips. Not good at all! My wage stagnated with the increase in minimum wage of my state. When I started, the pay was well above minimum wage, but when I left, it was only a $1.30 more. It later on did not compensate for the gross increase in transit costs due to inflation. The free goodies also became less and less as the years went on despite the company being more profitable than ever. If you're looking for growth in a company, this is not the place to work. I knew some people who were there for 20+ years who were working the same position as when they started. Some people became stand supervisors, but there seems to be no growth beyond that.
