Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Is this your company?

Though you can earn higher than average tip wages, it is a miserable and taxing place to work. - Server Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen Employee Review

Pros

Higher than average guest count = Higher than average (generally) tips. If you are able to stand it, the "hourly" wage is higher than other jobs, and the schedule can be flexible.

Cons

The (current) management staff is disrespectful and incompetent at best. The high turn-over in both the management staff and entire employment staff, speak for themselves. Those who are properly "Pappa-tized" may make it, provided they properly pass blame to others, are entirely self-serving, and are willing to settle for mediocrity.

Pros

Very structured. Professional company, clear goals and good communication.

Cons

No room for growth. GM positions rarely open and the company isn't expanding. There is a program where you can become an "AGM" and qualify for better pay however the goals to achieve this don't seem realistic. We are told we can't give reviews to employees over a certain level "No one should be getting higher than a 3.5 on reviews, that's not realistic" Then told we need to achieve a 3.8 on OUR review to move forward. Clearly not going to happen. The schedule is brutal. We keep losing management due to long hours / late hours and weekends always working. They won't hire managers no matter how qualified without a college degree. So we get managers who are very unqualified with degrees that aren't relevant, while we have people who have experience and would be a great fit that we can't hire.
