Good money for the job you do managers are pretty great and the other employees are easy to get a lobby with.

Hard to move up to server they like hiring from outside for servers over people that have been there for years.

Good work environment hard to move up to server

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is fair for a busser position hours are good and you have a lot of opportunity to get hours. Management is great but plays favorites.

Cons

If you are hired as a busser there is almost no chance of moving up beyond that position because they hire outside servers with more experience over promoting within no matter how long you have worked for the company.

Culinary Dropout Response

We really appreciate your review and are so glad to have had you as a Dropout. We really appreciate your hard work and know that the back server is one of the backbones of the restaurant. In the future, we would recommend talking to your GM about the goals that you need to hit in order to grow into a serving position, as we definitely prefer to to promote from within. If you have any questions or concerns please email hrcommunications@foxrc.com with more details!
