Sometimes a fun work environment but toxic management

Host and to-go

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

fellow coworkers are friendly for the most part, food is good, good place if you want to eventually get server experience

Cons

The management is toxic... they talk behind employees backs to other employees, roll their eyes when you ask a question (or even ask for your paycheck/tips at the end of the night), and they change the rules up for hosts all the time. Also they will work you to the point it is barely legal, making you work 11 days straight, no breaks etc. Also there is a superiority complex between the servers and hosts/bussers for some reason. It was a fun place to work at first but as time went on managers started showing their true colors, I didn't realize how toxic it was until I left and found a new job.

Pros

Healthy food that actually tastes delicious. The actual company is amazing and I love what they stand for.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. I constantly received passive-aggressive behavior from management and was expected to have off-hours communication with them at all times. I got in trouble if I didn't answer a phone call while on vacation or respond to a text by the end of the day. It seemed almost obsessive, they were not okay if True Food was not your number 1 priority over everything else. They would also make you feel bad if you couldn't cover a shift for them and take it out on you by scheduling you less the week after. Once got written up once because the drawer was 1 dollar short. Just some very childish behavior overall. Would not recommend my worst enemy to work for them.
