Pros: benifits
Was a very good company to work for where, everyone was a team players. Enjoy being with poeple. I've learned everyone has a different personality and how to deal each person for who they are. I started at the bottom of the company and worked my way up. I never asked an associate to do something I hadn,t already done. Hardest part of my job ws the two – more... years I traveled for the company as a trouble shooter. I was in management for many years and decided to get out of the business.

Line Cook/Prep Cook (Current Employee), Coral Gables, FL – December 14, 2012
Pros: 30 min break, free food
Cons: since its located within the university of miami, so when the school closes, we don't work
Once a clock in, put on my apron and asked the chef what needs to be done. I've learned things that ill keep in mind. Management is good keeps everybody somehow motivated.

Food Service Worker (Current Employee), San Marcos, TX – November 27, 2012
Show up at eleven am. to take orders or jump on the register at Einstein Bros. Bagels. I'll Check the coffee and replace items which have receded. Some Days I'll work the register at the convenient store downstairs or the pizza hut. Seldom do I fill in at the Grill or Freshens but there have been occurrences where I will have to learn a new station. – more... I'll head home around seven o'clock pm. which gives me a few hours of freedom before bed. Compensation is only eight dollars an hour which I am not happy with due to the understanding that our facility produces thousands of dollars in revenue every single day however it would be quite beneficial to purchase stocks in the company. – less
Line Cook (Former Employee), Pueblo, CO – November 13, 2012
Pros: free meal
Cons: management
My typical day was when I got there I prepped every thing for my line. clean my line and set it up. as i went through my line i would observe how much the students would order a certain object and prep accordingly. the worst part of that job was the lack of help for me and other coworkers.
On everyday base I deal with about 400 customer that I have gain a friend relationship with.

Workload is far too much considering the pay. All the wrog people get promoted and it doesnt seem fair. Its been a few years that I have worked there so maybe things have changed.

Catering Assistant (Former Employee), Devon – September 18, 2012
I liked working at my job, but when we had new management come and interfere,as they thought they knew better wrong, they made it worse, perhaps if they had better training it would be ok. Got on fine with fellow workers it was just management.Chartwells didn't like to pay overtime. If anything went wrong, there policy was to take notes then tell you – more... it could lead to a disciplinary. – less
Nice place to work especially when you have young children
