Micromanaged at times by people that have no experience,

Work Environment & Management No accountability – Employees do whatever they want without consequences. Poor management – Leadership ignores issues and fails to enforce basic standards. Retaliation for speaking up – Management discourages reporting problems instead of fixing them. Favoritism – Some employees get away with not working while others pick up the slack. Toxic work culture – Lack of professionalism and no real leadership presence. Employees disappear instead of working – Some constantly take unnecessary trips to the back or socialize instead of doing their job. Food Safety & Sanitation Issues Food contamination risks – Raw chicken stored next to prepared food without labels. Cross-contamination – Employees handle raw chicken and touch everything else without changing gloves. Dirty equipment – Slicers, fryer baskets, and rotisserie racks are not properly cleaned. Improper chemical use – Floor cleaner was connected to the dish sanitizer line, contaminating dishes. Expired fryer oil test strips – No proper testing of fryer oil. Sushi cooler at unsafe temperature – Food safety hazard for customers. Flying bugs in sushi area – Signs of poor sanitation. Food left out overnight – Items left in hot storage and even inside fryers. Garbage not changed properly – Food waste left overnight, attracting pests. Blocked hand sinks – Prevents proper handwashing and hygiene compliance. PPE violations – Employees not wearing hairnets, hats, or proper uniforms. Equipment Neglect & Safety Hazards Rotisserie oven door broken – Must be propped open, creating a burn hazard. Grease buildup everywhere – Fryers, blast chillers, and floors covered in grease. Deli case handle held together with duct tape – Impossible to clean properly. Unmaintained fryer grease trap – So clogged the wheels have broken. Cooler and fryer buttons never sanitized – Increases risk of contamination. Stocking done incorrectly – New product placed in front instead of rotating stock, leading to expired food being sold. Overall Job Dissatisfaction Lack of teamwork – Some employees do their job, while others avoid work. Unfair workload distribution – Hardworking employees are left covering for those who slack off. Lack of recognition or improvement – Concerns raised multiple times with no action. No motivation to work efficiently – People crowd around single-person tasks while other duties are ignored.
