Outback Steakhouse Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Outback Steakhouse

Pros – you can stand behind what you're giving your guests because the food is GREAT

Cons – "no rules" is not the best philosophy - hard to be consistent with guests when management just gives picky, whiny complainers whatever they want!

Advice to Senior Management – hire a good attitude, not a snobby waitress cause she's been at it for 8 years

Former Employee – worked at Outback Steakhouse part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – easy as long as you know what you're doing. management was always very cooperative. complied with my school schedule and was very simple after a while.

Cons – only cons would simply be that it's busy and high stress at times. typical food industry job, no real huge negatives.

Advice to Senior Management – could be a little more server friendly, and tip share isn't balanced.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

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

Pros – Great dynamics, smooth running shifts, management sincerely cares about employees

Cons – I get paid $2.13 and rely on tips to make my money. Rough life.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Outback Steakhouse part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Good money, avg $17 an hour. Schedule is easy to work around. (4-10pm usually) I have admired and learned something from every manager I have met thus far. This company definitely encourages you to move up if you have it in you. Your schedule depends on staffing and how well of a job you do. I avg. 30/wk

Cons – SUNDAYS. I don't know if Sundays are bad at every restaurant, but I feel like Sundays are especially bad. Even then, we close early, so that helps a little.

Advice to Senior Management – We don't see them much. I am not a big fan of the new "team" register option. I feel like a lot of work should be done on it, and the reading system should be explained more thoroughly in training, or at least to a designated person that can explain when something is puzzling.

Advice to Senior Management – If you don't make employees stick to the rules customers will notice and you will look bad.

Pros – Great environment, great food, low stress. The food is mostly all handmade. The cooks are properly trained and know what everything is supposed to taste like and look like.
