If it takes 6 years to be vested and you don't think that you'll be with the company for 6 years, then contributing to their 401k doesn't mean much.I worked for an oil and gas company that required 6 years of employment with no more than 6-month gaps in that employment in order to be vested.

They may (and often do) have the restaurant get separate tenant-paid pickup since the restaurant will generate a lot of waste (Packaging, Organic waste, Oil waste, etc.).It, as always, also depends on availability.

There are exceptions like Chris Clothier's well oiled machine but in the main I just don't get it.
