Spago-Beverly-Hills

* On a typical day at work I would serve 30-40 guests 9 Course tasting menus with wine pairings non-stop for six hours.  Teamwork, communication and a sense of urgency was an absolute must in order to succeed.
*I learned how to ask for help. More importantly, it changed my opinion on the matter entirely. Instead of viewing ‘asking for help’ as a weakness, I now see it as an irreplaceable asset.
*Everyone is on the same team. I see all positions of equal importance, from the new dishwasher to the General Manager. Only Without order, is chaos a possibility.
*Workplace culture was very familial and professional at the same time.
*The most difficult part of the job was probably managing personalities and tempers. From the Executive Chef, to the lead Maitre D, right on down to the guest who came to dine equipped with a 2 page laminated allergy and dietary restrictions card.
*The co-workers are now my lifelong friends.

Spago is a staple restaurant of Wolfgang Puck, Great place to work and learn. the workplace culture is definitely on the higher end of the "culture scale" great team work and great food to back it up with. a typical day at work consists of stress, occupational hazards, and exhaustion. but at the end of the day you feel accomplished and satisfied

Very poor and uncaring management,  unskilled and unorganized.    Employees are not reviewed for raises and the philosophy of the venue is that they can pay a low salary because you should feel honored to be employed there.    Spago adheres to a very old school way of thought in regard to how one is treated according to Wealth and it is unsavory to say the least.   

For years industry insiders have referred to Spago as the meatgrinder for the unrelenting manner in which it chews out its employees. Success here is transmutable to success at any level within the field.

Just a great place to work with an awful lot of good hard working folks. Very past paced, but not particularly stressful. Management has everything under control and handle situation quickly and appropriately.

Lots of stuff to learn, great people to learn with. Management isn’t as overbearing as most hospitality jobs. Work life balance can be difficult but the pay definitely makes up for it.

learned so much working here. the staff is like a family and most of them have been working here for years. when you dine here as an employee you're treated like royalty. great benefits and perks 

Very hard work and complete commitment was needed to excel at this job.  Quality and standards are learned and raised by working at a high-end high-paced restaurant of this quality.

Very good place to work at. Coworker are chill and awesome. I recommend did for culinary students because you will learn alot from the chefs there.

Con little growth in payment and favoritism

I worked in the pastry department as a head baker 
The pastry Della Gosset was the best , fair, efficient ...
Good team with a good spirit, a real good experience
