I loved working at Cheddars

Server/shift leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cheddars gave me a chance to learn new skills with no experience. They advanced me to shift leader, and are very specific about rewarding excellence with flexibility, encouragement, and opportunies to advance.

Cons

The hours are unpredictable at times because shifts can be long, the menu is very reasonably priced, so tips are not quite as high, but the longer shifts make up for it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some managers and employees were nice and worked hard, relatively easy job.

Cons

Scheduling is terrible, with too many people on dead nights and not enough when it's busy, therefore difficult to make money. Don't get paid for hours worked anyway. Availability is not considered and requested days off are not given. Breaks are virtually non existent. Some managers are very unprofessional to downright rude, and wonder why they have such a high turn over rate. Will tell you to do one thing, and then get yelled at for doing it by someone else
