Pros

If you are unable to find a job at another company.

Cons

Don't work for this company unless you CANNOT find employment elsewhere! An employee works full-time hours but has to wait a year to get benefits. The corporate office ALWAYS messes up the employees paychecks. Employees usually have to wait several weeks to get their paycheck corrected.Thompson H. contracts at universities and corporations. The food service areas are managed onsite by the managers hired for each individual facility. The managers salary and bonus is based on the amount of money they save. So, management always under staffs the facilities by as many as TWENTY employees. And they work the employees they the do have like slaves. Employees have no rights. The corporate offices go along with anything that the management tells them. Management harasses employees they don't like. Especially employees who are intelligent enough to provide them with competition. Management makes up les about employees so that they can "write them up". New employees are paid more than long term employees. Most employees make between $8.00 and $9.00 per hour while preparing (while understaffed) food for over 900 students in a four hour period Management openly ridicules employees and their work. And amazingly, all of the managers are dumb! This company operates like a company from the dark ages of corporate and manufacturing history.

Pros

Thompson Hospitality gave me the opportunity to lead, mentor, and make a meaningful impact through foodservice. As someone with more than three decades in the industry, I found the work rewarding because I enjoy building teams, improving operations, and serving people with excellence. The job is demanding, and success requires flexibility, resilience, and a willingness to solve problems every day. There are opportunities to continue improving communication, staffing stability, work-life balance, and recognition of experienced leaders. Those investments would make an already solid organization even stronger. Overall, I would recommend Thompson Hospitality to professionals who enjoy leading from the front, developing others, and thriving in a fast-paced environment. If you’re looking for an easy job with predictable hours, this may not be the right fit. If you’re passionate about leadership, service, and making a difference, you’ll find meaningful opportunities here.

Cons

Cons * Limited opportunities to fully leverage experienced leadership. As a culinary executive with decades of experience, I believe seasoned leaders should have greater opportunities to contribute to strategic planning, operational innovation, and organizational decision-making rather than primarily focusing on day-to-day execution. * Need for stronger investment in leadership and culinary development. Continuous education, culinary training, mentorship, and leadership development should remain a priority. Investing in employees at every level helps strengthen the organization, improves retention, and positions the company for long-term success. * Career advancement could be more transparent. Creating clearer pathways for promotion based on performance, education, leadership ability, experience, and proven results would encourage employee growth and better recognize those who consistently add value to the organization. * Work-life balance can be challenging in leadership roles. The demands of managing operations, staffing, travel, and client expectations can make it difficult to maintain a healthy balance. Continued focus on staffing support and workload management would help leaders perform at their highest level while sustaining long-term engagement.
