Favoritism at its best - Server Seasons 52 Employee Review

Pros

Flexible schedule, great coworkers, nice area of town, great menu

Cons

Managers showed deliberate favoritism, they really didn't know how to manage. Would make mistakes within restaurant and blame on employees. Correlation of seating chart was unorganized, didn't know how to orchestrate busy nights which costs the servers money. Too much pressure on steps of service (would get a secret shop nearly every week!) Would get a lot of rude customers and managers would just comp everything to make them feel better (I am talking whole meals and bottles of wine!) Which costs the tips, and honestly expect you to not make any mistakes and want you to suck up to them. Started making decent money to nearly anything at all!

Pros

Regulars, steady business, good pay. Daily tip payout was great for a steady stream of income rather than weekly/bi-weekly paycheck. Hours were reasonable and kitchen almost always on top of things for consistent food. Private events were seamless and coordination between BOH and FOH was one of the best I’ve worked in.

Cons

Performance Based Scheduling made for an interesting dynamic between staff and managers. There were clear favorites and undesirables amongst management. EGSS (Guest Surveys) was held against us heavily and swayed much of managements attitudes towards staff.
