Worst company with a CEO who doesn't care about the people - Restaurant Manager True Food Kitchen Employee Review

Pros

The food we make is great

Cons

Worst job I have ever had. The management and upper management do not care about the people they only care about the bottom line and putting money into their own pockets. We work extremely hard to put out a great food and give good service and they don't even give us a thank you. We are under staffed for the volume, NO PTO even if you are full time, bad benefits all so they can make their bonus.
