Chartwells Employer Reviews

I did coffee maker, sandwiches maker and cashier in the store.
I improved conmmunication , time orgnization skills. And also i team worked with members effeiciently.

I truly enjoy working at Chartwells at Mount Saint Vincent University.

A typical day at work is cleaning the beverage area, cleaning tables, sweeping and mopping floors, restocking cups, napkins and coffee packets. Management was very professional and easy to work with. They were always available for any type of assistance. My co-workers were very helpful and always willing to help with anything I was confused about. The – more... hardest part of the job is to maintain a clean workspace when students are constantly getting drinks and making coffee. The most enjoyable part of the job was to be able to know that there is someone always willing to help you. – less

Coworkers are great people to be around, but most would prefer not to be there.

A typical day at work involves you doing your assigned duties and whatever extra management thinks of. At times this is nice, because it's a change of the normal duties, but it can get tedious.

It was a constant workplace. The people there got along great.

I enjoyed working along side my co-workers and management was very friendly.

As a salaried manager you were basically treated like a slave, working minimum 60 hours a week, without a thought at additional compensation. Most times you could hardly get a thank you, or would get yelled at if you tried to leave when it was slower and time would allow for you to recoup those extra hours worked.

Were not giving the support or tools – more... to do job properly, ie. budgets, contracts, training, etc. A LOT of favoritism and high up manager literally PUSHING his managers out of the company and account.

Witnessed the loss of over 18 managers and supervisors in a less than 3 year period under one person's "reign" and HR does not think anything is wrong with this. You call to put in Discrimination complaints, to ask questions about policy and procedures and receive inadequate answers, non at all, or told that the only option is to speak with a manager you are not comfortable with at all. Promised manager interviews to assess the situation that never came.

This lists go on and on. I hear not all of the accounts are like this, but my experience soured me on the whole company for good. I would never work for these corrupt people! – less

I really like my job. I work at Johnson & Wales University at Campus Dining. We supply three meals a day to the students and other outside patrons. I have really improved my culinary and leadership skills. I have cooked more things than I expected. The management really focuses on constantly making improvements and works with the staff. My co-workers – more... vary from long time veterans to student interns that only work for three month spans. The hardest part of my job is dealing with the different tastes and needs of the 500 students we feed. I really like to see the things they like and creating a relationship with them all. – less

Large company with many resources. Currently working feeding school children.

With the right management in place it was a fun working environment.
With the wrong management in place you had job insecurity, always looking over your back, and wondering when your next write-up will be.

This position was managed Very Poorly!Too much confusion!

I enjoyed working. The job was flexible with my school schedule, flexible hours.I had friendly co-workers.

A typical day at work is envolved around all aspects of the food service industy. I am responsible for all preperation, service, finacials, customers, employees. Mind you I have 4 well trained management team under me that have specific areas that they control.

I have been an employee and manager at Chartwells for almost 9 years. I began working for – more... Chartwells as a catering supervior and have worked my way to being Director of Dining. Through the different positions that I have had working for Chartwells I have learned to become a better decision maker, a top notch sales associate and a very good listener. I have taught myself to adapt to many situations some stressful some not. I have become proficient with P&L accounts and have managed my unit to be profitable.

My team has brought me success. My team of co-workers have came together and have brought out the best of our unit. My team is very knowledgeable and work very well together and have the understanding of hard work. I give the direction and they get the job done.

The most enjoyable part of my job is that is ever changing. Everyday is not the same. Wprking on a college campus I meet and interact with many different types of people from all different back grounds. I enjoy the costomer service aspect of my current position. – less

I learned how to set up events and a table properly and learned how to cook.Management was awesome very down to earth and a great boss and my co workers were more like friends than co workers i felt like i was part of a family at the workplace. hardest part of job – more... it really wasnt one and i most enjoyable part was the whole experience – less

This is a job more oriented for students who attend the school. Most of the management is fair but as the ladder climbs higher, the more unfair it gets. The co-workers are extremely down-to-earth and fun to be around. They make the job seem easier than what it is. They are very helpful and actually care about your well-being. The hardest part about – more... everything is the unfair workload some positions have to endure. The most enjoyable parts are the free meals and the co-workers. – less

Staff was very good and took time to help new staff. I did some cleaning as in tables, coke, ice cream, and coffee areas, eating tables. Did some salad preparation and some serving and refilling food for the buffet. It was a great learning experience.

Work is not tedious, time consuming at times. Management can be rigorious. You must have patience and be a people person.
