Work/life balance was horrible. Any serious complaints or discussions that were had with the gm were met with “promises” which were quickly forgotten about or “never even discussed.
The level of pettiness from upper management was insane. You say you’re putting your notice in and some are met with demotion and lack of hours during their final weeks of employment. Getting time off was a hassle because we weren’t ever staffed properly and almost every request of mine and others was denied. Anytime kitchen equipment broke or there was an issue was leaks with the old roof, all of these concerns would get brushed off until the health department makes their visit and we got dinged everywhere because of it. If you were someone who’s been there a long time….. expect to work every holiday. Sales loves to books parties with large menus day of with no head up which are always placed after our Sysco delivery deadline/drop of days which left me scrambling to go to the store to with no time to prepare for other day to day things. All the gm’s loved to feed you “promises” to keep you “happy” so they don’t have look for new people. We had no kitchen manager or “executive chef” for over half a year and all their responsibilities got thrown on me for no compensation through the time period and through our peak season. Prices for food are abysmal when you actually see how much it costs to make a platter of food compared to what they charge customers… it’s disgusting. Especially the sliders…
