Poor management and not actually caring of employees

Server

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers were nice and tips were good. The discount at other restaurants was great too, especially during the winter months.

Cons

Did not practice what they preached when it came to employee treatment. Poor management since they hired young and overworked them. More focused on building new restaurant concepts than taking care of and improving current operations. Hire with promise of full time and never follow through, so all the benefits promised upon hiring such as healthcare are not attainable.

Pros

Great company policies & food discounts. Corporate will listen to all employee ideas & opinions.

Cons

Hourly pay seems to be the minimum they can get away with across all positions. There is known age discrimination for certain locations, they cut off hiring at age 40 to maintain a certain image. This may change as the Melman kids age themselves.
