Pros

Have nothing but positives to share, my experience of working with Ask Italian has been fulfilling, rewarding and they give amazing recognition for teams doing well. I received thorough training, with an ongoing mentore, that I can actually call a long term friend, I have been given an amazing opportunity to develop my restaurant, build a team that actually enjoys being at work in the family friendly restaurant, my team really goes that extra mile for each and every customer. Ask do really care about every employee and this is shown through their company values. I also received a “spirited” award within my first year for record sales throughout the business. I am lucky to have this amazing employer in my town and look forward to my future with Ask Italian 🫶🏼

Cons

For me, I have no con’s
