Burlington, MA - October 30, 2021
you cannot go forward in this company unless you are willing to give them all of your time and efforts. say goodbye to any weekend or Holiday plans.
Pros and Cons
free dinner
management constantly looking to save money, including your vacation time.
Server
Boston, MA - May 24, 2021
I felt very welcomed when I first starting working at Legals, but that was mainly because of the caring staff. Managers were not very understanding unless it was a serious matter with proof. I was overworked- most of my shifts were doubles, and they only had a small selection of food we could get for free for double shifts. I’m used to side work, but this restaurant had an insane amount that you had to do morning, throughout the shift, and after the night.
Pros and Cons
Made friends
Completely ruined my social life (outside of legals) and grades.
Director of operations
Washington, DC - March 24, 2021
This was my second tour of duty I overshot locations from Atlanta to Paramus New Jersey nine in total. Great compensation package as well as benefits but very demanding of personal time weekends not much left over for family.
Pros and Cons
High quality and high volume
Long days, travel limited upward mobility
