Outback Steakhouse Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Outback Steakhouse full-time for more than a year

Pros – Was very fun, personalities were awesome, always had a good time most of the time, positive atmosphere and structure was very impressive with everyone (most of everybody) willing to put it all on the line to give the best performance.

Cons – Was hard to move up to server and was only offered to-go which I had to leave in doing so because of a server opening somewhere else I took. But they would hire people that never served or worked at an outback before...makes no sense to me either....

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to step foot down when it comes to being the manager, business is business, leave feelings outside of work.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Outback Steakhouse part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – At my particular store the staff all acted like a family. Very fun work environment. good tips (mostly)

Cons – long and late hours. tips. no constant paycheck. upset customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Let us wear crocs!

Current Employee – been working at Outback Steakhouse

Pros – Good money. Only open at night, works with day jobs or school schedule.

Cons – Progressively giving more and more food away for free, and guests are tipping on lower amount. Sounds fine, but I have been seeing a 10-15% decrease in pay almost each year!

Former Employee – worked at Outback Steakhouse full-time for less than a year

Pros – Themed casual dining appeal with great caliber of food & beverage. Great regular guest following. Enjoyed the staff, location, and menu. Great company tools and training to help you succeed.

Cons – When management ruins what is, or once was, a well-oiled machine with their own personal attitudes... My experience was short-lived because a simple and proper resolution, yet offered, could not be found.

Advice to Senior Management – Great company to work for as a server. Good following, easy working hours and conditions, but value your servers/bartenders who are building regulars, your business...

Former Employee – worked at Outback Steakhouse part-time for more than a year

Pros – Both experiences were great, in a bigger city in Louisiana. For the most part one was more strict than the other, but both were laid back. Everyone was fun to work with, schedules are always online, and picking up and releasing shifts are a breeze with a hit of a button so is requesting off. Pay is about 13-20 dollars an hour depending on which shifts you worked
they like to hire managers and franchisers from within so there is opportunity to move up

Cons – only open on nights very limited
