Disgusting labor practices-trend to rip off employees- not pay them or give them the run around to be paid

Pros

Not worth the bother. Very costly to you in terms of time and hassle to receive your pay. You may need to contact the state fair labor/texas workforce, an attorney, or at minimum, corporate to get paid locally.

Cons

The firm has a reputation in Amarillo for not paying employees and hassling them when they ask for their pay You'll hear employees leaving work saying "they owe me $" and you'll meet many former employees who will have worked for the and were ripped off- unpaid. Call the State of Texas Fair Wage Division or Texas Workforce for help if needed.

Horrible, worst serving job of my life!

Pros

The co-workers. When I say co-workers, I am referring to the other victims that had to call this place their work. Good people. All of us HATED this place together.

Cons

Management was awful. I have never worked in a restaurant with worse management in my life. It was dumb founding on how they just did not care about their employees. There was no manager communication and they were never there when we needed them. The money and clientele was horrible too. Low menu prices with a mix of ghetto and college patrons = very little money. The hours were far more than any serving job I have ever dealt with. And the side work was too much. The CA line was disgusting, the salad bar was always a mess, and sweeping carpet. Yes SWEEPING carpet.

Management treats you unfair

Business Outlook

Pros

Customers are nice, food is good. I am looking elsewhere and that is a pro!!!

Cons

Management and the games. Favoritism to females in many areas. People walk as they are treated so badly the turn over is horrible. Turn over in management is the same. Management also keeps hidden and not accurate records of things you do, how much work you miss etc. That is great and should be done but like I said they need to be accurate and not false. Zero consistency. The word is getting out not to work there.
