Pros

Learned a ton, always was challenged, really great for a young person starting out - work hard, but don't stay longer than a year and know your value and rights as an employee. Wonderful outlook and passion but poor practices.

Cons

I worked over 80 hours a week for less than $40k. I went into debt working this job and although the founders are nice ladies and extrememly passionate - they are willingly blind to the basic and fundamental parts of taking care of their employees. You receive beautiful meals, but don't have healthcare - you have access to an amazing network of people, but can't afford to maximize them because your workload is oppressive. I managed the complete operational side of this company and never made enough to live. Expect to do a lot of grunt work while the founders focus on branding and making things beautiful. I also never rose above an associate level although I was the go-to for almost anything and everything. By the time I left I was suffering panic attacks, and would be openly crying in the office - I think they ignored my troubles to avoid the awkwardness, or they knew no one else was available to do the work. Like I said, MW I worked 6am-6pm, TTh I worked 9-6pm, and F I worked 6am to 2am (in the morning), Sat 6-10am, Sun 6pm-10pm. Every week, always on call if the office, kitchen, or deliveries teams had trouble.
