ChefAdvantage

When I was brought into the company as a sous chef; my manager, at the time, heavily relied on me to teach them how to do their own job. After my first year, I was offered my own account to manage. I was not informed until my first day at my new position, that the school I was taking over was already not happy with ChefAdvantage due to financial reasons. Over the next few months, Corporate made almost no effort to help remedy the situation. Which lead to the school deciding to close the account. After the staff was notified of the upcoming closure, ChefAdvantage went silent. They offered little assistance and no condolences to the staff that were about to lose their jobs. 

Corporate, while charging a large monthly fee to their clients, has little to no structure on procedures, recipes or menus. The ownership has shown to barely care about the managers and staff running the satellite accounts.

If your looking for a job that will train you and take the effort to grow with you. This is not the place for you. 

I have been in the food service industry for over 15 years and I have never experienced a company treat their employees the way ChefAdvantage does.
I was in my current position for 2 years as Prep Cook/server. During this time, I went above and beyond for this company by being honest, professional, hard working and always being on time.

Recently, the quality and the safety of the kitchen declined due to a new Chef manager coming into the account. Any questions brought to management or HR were completely shut down and answered with a back handed statement, even with proof. I was told to show up to work with a positive attitude if I wanted to keep my job and get a raise.

Please consider working here. The school has done nothing but be supportive of my concerns and they were a great family to work for. I just could not continue to work for this company and compromise quality and safety.

Chef advantage has very good hours the pay is not good did not get a raise worked for them two seasons no raise due to covid then we were promised to get a raise in April I finally quit on April 5th because no raise yet better job . When I got hired in there were two cashiers one was making $15 an hour and they paid me $11.50 an hour then I got so good at doing everything between cooking and prepping and cash and filling everything that they just had me with no raise so I busted my butt from the time I walked in that door until it was lunch time we had to do everything from dishes to floors to cooking everything coming in on days off to clean for 3 hours when who would do that to make 30 bucks.

I have worked the food industry my whole life and spent years in ragged kitchens getting paid chump change and being worked and treated like a piece of machinery. 

Not so at ChefAdvantage! I signed on three years ago and never looked back. If you are a long term food/beverage worker then this company is what you have been looking for. If you are new to the industry or are a recent culinary school grad, then this is the place to get the experience and skills you need to succeed in this business.

If you came from the industry, you are going to think this job is a breeze.  Great hours, good upper management at corporate office.  The nights and weekends off is really great, especially for family life.  I have recommended this place to friends who were looking for a  better work/life balance.  Pay scale and benefits pretty good.  You are providing food for kids so it has its plus of knowing you are feeding the future.  Since it is a production kitchen, be prepared for the physical part of it.

I worked at the college park location for only 2 days!!!!! The manager is so rude and disrespectful I couldn’t imagine still workig for her. She is very demanding and aggressive and has little care for the feelings of others.

It was so bad I literally dropped everything and left half way through my second day. I also reached out to corporate and HR and the could care less!!!! Its like they were like “Oh ok”. They showed no empathy for how their NEW employee was treated.

No one deserves to be disrespected period. And HR should be ASHAMED of themselves for not trying to fix it!

I started with ChefAdvantage as a Sous chef for a private. After one year was promoted to chef Manager at a different location. Upper management is great to work with and also informative. ChefAdvantage gives their associates to the power to be creative. Coming from a restaurant background the schedule is great as well for anyone with a family. All in all if your looking for a great company to get started with and want upward mobility and a team that cares about you and your career ChefAdvantage is the fit for you.

It's rare to find a company that actually stands behind their people but Chef Advantage most certainly stands out in that regard.  They truly care about their clients, advancement of their team members, and most importantly about work/life balance.  This job has been a Godsend for my family and me.  Could not be happier!

ChefAdvantage is great, if you're looking for a part time job, but if you're looking for full time work, or even a career, look elsewhere. The drivers and the kitchen staff are mostly quite friendly, but the management, when I was there, was appalling... The executive chef behaved like the Swedish chef on crack, throwing things, screaming obscenities and belittling his staff... Unacceptable.
