Thompson Hospitality reviews

Complete disregard for employees as people with needs, feelings, opinions, and intelligence. Arbitrary pay practices. Leadership fosters cliques and a culture of abuse. Virtually zero training at any level but you will be expected to make miracles happen and if you don't, you're done. Severe lack of consistency or established policies and procedures; decisions are made on a whim. The company is ran like a plantation which is disheartening considering that it is black owned.

After sending in my resignation with notice they terminated my employment a few days later. They have one of the largest turn overs in the corporate office and the units themselves that I have ever witnessed in a restaurant. (Red flag) No systems in place for training. Even the employee handbook is outdated. Menu is uninspiring. Tap Tap shrimp stolen from Bonefish (Bang Bang Shrimp) Calamari app stolen from Miller's Ale House are just two examples. The sad part is they take pride in doing these things, whenever there is a General Manager meeting, they even brag about it. On new menu roll outs they will not allow the chef to try nothing new because "they do not eat it" or my favorite response "that is not a salad, it does not have lettuce" you might laugh, but I am being absolutely serious. Treatment of the management staff by some of the corporate higher ups is just down right disrespectful. If you are not part of the clique, good luck on getting your opinion heard or receiving any respect. I heard horror stories of these types of experiences just never thought I would be one of them in this day and age.
