n So the pros of this company is the exposure for first time private chefs looking to gain some…read moreclientele in their local area. The owner seemed like a very nice down to earth guy. Cons: Very unorganized, the woman who works in "HR" also works another 9-5 job so i received emails, offer letter etc at 12 am very often. I received client introductions at 9pm. To connect with clients you have to cc the owner and the client., you have to do three way zoom calls and phone calls. Which im assuming is because the owner has some kind of trust issues which will explain my later issue. Once i was offered the job The owner told me my pay, told me he would pay upfront for all groceries etc. i got my offer letter and it stated the total opposite. Never in my personal chef experience would i pay for grocieries and be reimbursted. I didnt received any clients or feedback for weeks. It was a bunch if back and forth i was constantly checking in to see whats next. Once introduced to clients whom i found out had been waiting for services since december the woman in "HR" shared their address and contact info to reach out to them but didnt tell me i had to three way the owner when i called them but the owner tells me why didnt i add him to the call. I connected with 4 potentials in one day. Basically the threw all the people at me that had been waiting for months. There was one couple who wanted to chef services to be done in a certified kitchen (which is ok) or their home. Two days after the interaction the owner CT calls me an tells me they ran a background check on me and decided to take another route.. There are so many things wrong with that 1. How would they have gotten my information to run any kind of background check? 2. A background check was not a prereq for this position 3. You cannot just run a background check on someone 4. The owner was trying to tell me that these random people ran my information which i never shared anything with them besides my nick name So here is the short. The owner is a liar. He illegally ran a background check on me without my consent or knowledge, he lied on the potential clients saying that is was them and they told me it wasnt them. He also tells clients that he requires serv safe for the job etc. which he did not even ask me for( but i do have it). He shares your private information chefs and clients. I have addresses and email etc of clients before even meeting them. This guy is bad for business. Hes a racist and i gave him no reason to even run a random check on me lol. Even tho the things on there were either dismissed or a misdemeanor. CT violated my privacy and this business will mot get very far. After i asked him for a copy of such background check i was ignored . Be careful sharing your information with these people Erica and caster are both responsible. I shared my personal informaion for tax purposes only.
