Darden reviews

The people I work with are HORRIBLE! It makes the job un-bearable. I am currently looking for another job for that reason. All of my co-workers freak out over everything, and the managers dont do anything about it. Everyone is extreamly catty, and talks crap about everyone else behind their back, it really makes for a bad work environment and awkward to work around. And everything is so expensive, I hear my guest complain alot about the bill. Lunch time is awful, unlimited soup and salad is only 6.99 which means no one tips well. All managers and employees think it is a fine dining restaurant. (which it is not). So they expect a ton from you. The only plus side is the dinner money.

Barely any break betweens shifts when working a double, especially if your the last to get off from the morning shift. The managers will sometimes coerce you into working a double by offering a free meal, but often times there is no time to eat it between lunch and dinner shift, so you end up standing up in the "break" room (it's more of a coat room where they purposely remove the chairs so no one can get too relaxed back there) scarfing down the meal. Depending on the location, its not common that the servers will have time for a break. There is no one to cover your tables, and with people waiting to sit, there's no way your taking a break, which can be tough on the smokers. Required to give a portion of your tips to the bussers and bartenders.
