Pros

Was great at first. Making people smile and feeling welcomed.

Cons

The hours. The management. I remember working six shifts and still clocked out at 39 hours. I trained my managers and supervisors just for them to destroy my moral and outlook on the business.

Pros

There is enormous opportunity to learn about all sides of the food industry, as well as Italian products and cuisine. Generally, staff members are passionate and curious. The staff discount is good too.

Cons

Wages are ridiculously low and upper management does not seem to appreciate that Eataly is no longer the hot ticket in town as it was when it opened years ago. People are no longer banging down your doors to work for you, and in fact the company has a reputation in the industry for its low wages and chaotic work environment. In order to remain competitive you must pay your staff more.

Pros

Gained experience but did not learn anything new. Autonomy while working which was great. Close to public transportation.

Cons

Never speak up or you will forever be on the top leader's hit list. It almost runs as a mean girls club. Compensations is not enough for the amount of work you are expected to do. You get judged if you only work regular hours, more is expected. Didn't realize how bad the work-life balance was until I left there. Top leaders (VP-level) will make accusations based on what they hear, not what they know - which is extremely unprofessional after you’ve left the company. As a recruiter, you basically feel like you are lying to every person when you tell them that it is a great culture, environment or that there is room for growth. There is none of that. Feedback I received from previous employees while working there made me feel awful about being a part of a team like that. If you are a recruiter that truly cares about what you're "selling," skip this one. There are a lot of better opportunities out there! Took me 9 months to realize I needed to get out of there. I was the 2nd most senior recruiter and I was there for 9 months, yikes!
