They pay you less than minimum, get horrible tips not even worth the effort to wake up in the morning

They regularly break laws and overwork employee's. Don't work here if you want days off, need sick time or vacation the company is not compliant with legal regulations in that regard.

The supervisors are very hands off, as in they don't train and don't actually help in the running of the floor but are suuuuuuuuuper quick to throw staff under a bus to save their own a*s.  They power trip super hard and will verbally and mentally abuse you in front of staff and customers, instantly write you up if you try to enforce your employee rights and say it was something else.

Oh yeah and the boss spies on you from his other office, and will constantly call to harrass you about your job. He will come in to the office to yell and scream at you at his pleasure and fire you simply because he wants to make a point to the other staff without following legal rules and regulations in regards to how to properly fire someone.

each new job is a different experience for me, i learn things i haven't before .The environment of all the jobs i have had i learnt to get comfortable in and have fun while working. every first couple of days at a new job is different, each work place has its own rules and habits, things run differently and the hardest part of any job is getting the hang of the different environment. i learn by doing, so any job i get i am a very fast learner and easy going with everything, i like mostly everything i do not have any problems with sitting at a desk on the computer managing schedules and documents or moving around carrying things

They barely called me into work. They only let me come in when I called personally and they probably thought I was needy so they let me come in like once a week which then reduced to once every 2 weeks until they stopped calling or allowing completely. Not sure if they were fully staffed already or not but then what was the point of hiring me if I needed many hours? Its ok, Im grateful for the work done anyways but just a heads up, I don't think I was every really on their schedule. I was only a back-up I guess you could say. And as a server, they put me on dishwasher eventually and barely let me go out in the front because they needed a dishwasher person more i guess? Just a heads up, be prepared for the worst!

Place here absolutely does not care about labour laws as you would receive breaks well over the 5-hour period that is standard in the Ontario by-laws. Also, food safety and hygiene are very minimum at my time here. I constantly saw chefs cross contaminating vegetarian options with meat. Also, tips are highly discouraged and shared with the whole house even though you're the one running around and killing yourself to make customers happy.

A Typical day at work starts by setting up the line and doing some prep work , then waiting for the lunch rush to start . I learned more than knife skills at paramount. i learned self discipline and patience.
The co-workers i worked with felt like family and everyone always helped one another. The job barely had any hard parts. It is when it is really busy and a manager comes to give you destructive criticism for having a plate 3-4 mins late. the most enjoyable part about the job was working with the people and having it be an open kitchen concept where it was easy to talk to the guests and make sure they left happy

My time here as an Executive Assistant has been very informative- opened my eyes as to what it takes to grow a restaurant  and begin the process of franchising. 

A typical day would usually start at our head office, followed by meetings in and out of office. Meetings range from construction, food testing, franchising, visiting our corporate locations etc. 

We finish at the office around 5-5:30pm and then head to our main corporate restaurant to finish off the evening. Some evenings include events, fundraisers or business dinners.

As good as it looks from the outside its just as worse for employees inside. Too much work for a minimum wage jobs, orders are endless no time to even sit for 2-3 minutes and you get a 15 min break after all the work. 
   Where I worked the manager was terrible, unless you were a girl who looked good. He'd always be flirting with the female employees and giving them the easier parts while giving the male employees a continuous hard time

Do not work here unless you can handle working under serious pressure

A typical day at work includes providing exceptional customer service to all guests. I've learned and continue to learn new skills. Management is high top, flexible as well as knowledgeable. Co-workers are excellent, helpful as well as fun to work with. The most enjoyable part of the job is the thank you, you will recieve from guests, co-workers and management to show their appreciation of your hard work.

Paramount is a good place to work, but not the best place around! 

The management expects the restaurant to be fine dining, but the customers expect something quick and are not looking for such an experience. 

There is very less scope of development if you are not of Arab or Middle Eastern origin! 

But all in all, there cant be many complaints.

A days job at Paramount includes preparing food, cooking food, delivery inspection, inventory inspector and general cleaning. The Management was new and trying to understand the business; did a decent job in putting a good team of workers together.
