Palermo Villa Inc.

Palermo's helped give me a stronger foundation than I previously had within the food industry. I will say that if you work hard, engage with as many people who work there, and time it right, your work will be noticed. That's anywhere, but Palermo's does like to promote within, so it helped. I held multiple positions while I was there and was able to move up the ladder fairly quickly. They helped pay for a few of my certifications, and I was able to really help change the process/shift culture on the shift I was on. Towards the end of my time there, I knew I needed to move on to gain more experience. Unfortunately, the company culture had changed almost overnight, and many people started leaving. In the end, I wish the company/owners would have listened to its employees more and given clearer direction on what they wanted/expected. They lost a lot of good people due to a lack of respect, lack of communication, and lack of direction. Although in the end I was frustrated at how things were not changing for the better. I don't hold any ill-will towards the company. I got out of it what I needed to continue my food industry career and moved on.  

How the company wants to be perceived and what actually goes on are two different things.  Yes, the people are the main ingredient and matter which is all ownership talks about; however that very ownership turns over a ton of their salaried positions endlessly so people do not really matter.  Diverse hourly workforce as well, if you are not part of the majority/ethnic group that works here things will be very difficult for you.  They are not open to people different to them and will do anything to make someone look bad they do not like, very strength in numbers mentality amongst this population (almost run like a Cartel).  Daily perks were pretty awesome, discounted pizza in cafe, free pizza in cafeteria, lots of Bucks tickets given away.

Manager's make promises they don't keep!  You will not advance in the company. Even if  You  have the skills to advance they still will not move up  .  The management will keep you as a Sales Rep.  The manager will only help the people he likes on big sale days and doesn't care about his whole team.  Average working  hours for   a Rep, is about 12 hours, so by the time you get home, you have no family life.
The other comment is correct they only care about NUMBERS!  

They do not reinvest money back into the company. If there is no sale's you make no money.

You will get calls  and text messages  from your  manager ALL the time, even when you are at home with your family or your days off 
and 99.99 % the it could have waited until  you got back to work,
They say you can be off on Wednesday and then they turn around 
and say it is only every other Wednesday.

Although this restaurant closed, it did have a great atmosphere and great people to work with. I gained more restaurant  experience at this location than any other position I've held in the past. I got to know basically every aspect of running the restaurant. I believe we has excellent, homemade, original food items and an amazing wine list. The reason I believe the location closed was due to the owner's decision not to advertise while the neighborhood around us was building up quickly with new restaurants and bars. Even the housing in the Fairmount district was quickly being updated with new people moving in everyday. Palermo's got left behind without any way for the people to be aware of it.

Great atmosphere to work in, friendly and interactive coworkers who go the extra mile for each other, annual bags competition, free hot pizza every day, foosball table, etc. Company is very active in the Community. They are thoughtful and generous and enjoy giving to their employees, with lots of activities, very mindful of the people working around the clock on the three shifts.
Very open and welcoming to all people from all different Countries with all varieties of cultures.
While I was there I gained a lot of knowledge in manufacturing and formed a broad base in Safety, Quality, HR, New Hire Orientation, Stewardship, ESL, Community service, Food Pantry work, etc.

Work/life balance is decent, but the work itself is unfulfilling.  Managers are not really involved, mine almost never interacted with me unless there was a problem.  Coworkers seemed nice enough upfront, but I soon realized that most of them were huge gossips and liked to talk about other coworkers behind their backs, which made me realize they were probably doing the same to me- many departments we also like high school cliques.

This used to be an amazing place to work in maintenance. Plenty of opportunities, great support from leadership, and a positive team vibe. Over the last year, though, my experience has sadly changed. Morale has dropped significantly, and it feels like the team is undervalued compared to before. I've seen amazing coworkers leave, which is truly disappointing. I wouldn't recommend joining the maintenance team right now. It feels like a sinking ship. In my opinion, things were much better before recent leadership shifts.

My days at Palermo's was differential. i enjoyed working with the different machines. i really like the concern the Management had for their employees. The atmosphere at Palermo's was diverse and the staff was very hard workers.
The hardest part of the job as when the machines would stop working and things had to be done manually.
the most enjoyable part of the job was the fast pace of the conveyor belts and packing the pizzas.
i really enjoyed that I had weekends off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The "Family" feel, and great variety of  delicious foods.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 Seems like there are items that are unavailable do to supply issues, creating concerns with our customers at times.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Always good and positive. Like most large companies, communication could always be better.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy,  fast moving, some challenges, always fun!

Owner did not want to pay for place to get cleaned. Food quality was bad, the pizza was the best thing they had. I Was not able to clean restaurant because i would spend my time cooking and have to leave at the time of close.
Co workers made me feel like i didn't know what i was doing when i was trying to work on cleaning the place so that we could eventually work on the menu because i wasn't excited about working in the place from the moment i was hired.
