Sortis Holdings Now Owns Several Portland Independent Restaurants | Eater Portland

"Working at Tusk under Sortis ownership highlighted the trade-offs between corporate support and a bureaucratic culture: as a Mediterranean restaurant, Tusk offered unusually strong benefits (paid time off accrued regardless of full- or part-time status, a company-match 401(k), nine paid holidays for employees working more than 30 hours, comprehensive health insurance, and vision and dental) that staff like Sav Ekstrom praised, yet employees also reported frustrations with slow small-fix responses and a sense of being “a cog in this machine,” which led some, including bartender Brian Gonzales, to leave after months on the job." - Alice Wolfe
