Pros
Lots of room for upward mobility. You can grow within your department, or even switch departments or stores. If you work hard and put in effort, they recognize your potential. I've experienced this personally, and as a manager have had the pleasure to see this realized within my employees as well. Many former hourly employees of mine have moved onto different departments, or into management positions (within my department and outside of it). Eataly took care of it's employees during the pandemic, even going so far as to issue grocery credits to the employees who were furloughed so that they didn't have to worry about putting food on the table. It made me proud to work for a company who truly cared about their employees, even during a rough time. Always learning something new. From wines, to cheeses, to gelato, there is never a day where I haven't learned something I didn't know before
Cons
The holiday season can be tough, very busy and long hours, but it leaves you with a sense of accomplishment at the end. Compensation for various positions can vary a little more than I would like to see, but overall pays a very fair and market appropriate wage.
