We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us! At the heart of who we are, we are constantly trying to cultivate that community for not only our customers, but for our working environment as well. Internal mobility is an initiative within the organization that we hold to a high regard, so we're happy to read that you were aware of growth opportunities while you were working with us. We are sad to read that you did not feel like you had work life balance in your role. We know that a role in hospitality can require long hours, due to the nature of the restaurant industry itself. However, we offer a robust benefits package and paid time off policy/paid holidays to provide work life balance support to our team members. Please do not hesitate to reach out to TA@lifestylecommunities.com if you have further suggestions on how we could improve upon the work life balance nature of our Goat opportunities. We are certainly open to hearing your thoughts and continuing the conversation. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience at the Goat thus far! Your feedback is important to us, and we are constantly striving to provide a positive work environment for all of our team members. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the overall company's working environment in your tenure with us. As we continue to grow, we are constantly seeking fair working environments and ones that support our team members' growth. That being said, it is important to us to ensure that we offer competitive pay for our part time team members as well as being consistent with the restaurant industry across all of the markets we operate in currently. We are continuously challenging our restaurant leaders to provide the best team member experience and strive for greatness. It is disheartening to hear that you feel this experience may have fallen short. If you are comfortable, we would certainly be open to hearing more details.
