Earls. I was in the kitchen.

Staff discount: 50% up to $10. Once per shift. Did not apply if I was not working.

I was paid .25 above minimum wage and told I would get a .25 raise for every new station I learned. I had to twist arms to get that raise.

I was constantly put on split shifts... ie work for 2 hours get a 3 hour break and then come back and work for 4 more hours. What the hell am I supposed to do in a three hour break? That is barely enough time to get home and back on transit.

The kicker was they expected me to be responsible for my own uniform. I was only given one chef's jacket, which was expected to be clean. At the time I was not living in a place with access to a laundry machine. So I had to go to the laundramat 2 times a week to wash this thing.

We also had "staff parties" that the kitchen had to work during.

Edit: I should probably ad as disclaimer some people have had good experiences with this company. I think policie vary from restaurant to restaurant.
