Pros

I'm really thinking hard about this question but can't find anything that was positive about Red Robin.

Cons

The entire company from the CEO to Human Resources department don't care about anyone but themselves. They are very deceptive. They lie and break labor laws like they are a joke. They have no concept of what a company policy means or how to enforce them. As long as the Board of Directors are getting there pockets lined with stacks of cash and stock options this company will operate as a fascist state. If you work here, I warn you not to call the Red Robin Whistle Blower phone number. You will be investigated by the Nazi.HR Department and then they will discriminate and harass you until you quit or fire you for no reason. Bottom line is they don't care. They tell you they do in orientation but it's a huge lie. They talk about core values and helping others through there bogus Caring Program in which you must donate from your weekly pay check. But it's a scam.

Pros

Having a handheld order system that you can take orders on next to the table makes everything go much faster but has a BIG learning curve The culture is good, people are always running your food and it really does feel more like a team than a lot of server jobs Ive worked You can make good money on busy nights and sections are large / they are decently good about cutting too many servers

Cons

Management expects a lot from servers, which is understandable, but there is a lot of pressure on upsell and reviews Tips can be very random depending on day and time of day A lot of the logistics are easier bc of Red Robin policy (using table-side ordering/others running food) but because of this you have much bigger sections
