The company used to care ... maybe one day again they will?

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at T.G.I. Friday's full-time for more than 8 years

ProsGreat benefits, You can tell that the company wants to care, just that somewhere along the way, it gets misplaced.

ConsTerrible work hours, absolutely no work life balance. The pay isn't bad, but you can give up any hopes of a life

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Fun parttime job, not able to make rent being full time

Hostess (Former Employee)
Buford, GA

I worked at T.G.I. Friday's part-time

ProsServers, managers all crew members get along great and become family/friends. good discount,

Consonly does things by the book, corporate doesn't personally interact with restaurants. Not able to drink at bar. this would only work for a parttime job, tgifridays being a family restaurant means people feel they don't need to tip if at all.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Company has gone downhill...

Hostess (Former Employee)
Simi Valley, CA

I worked at T.G.I. Friday's part-time for more than a year

ProsCoworkers can be fun to work with and pay at $9/hr is reasonably good for the job you do, but not for the people you have to deal with.

ConsManagement plays favorites and are very picky, sometimes unfair. Not many hours. Friday's restaurants attract a certain 'kind' of clientele who can be very frustrating and downright nasty. I've heard customers yell and threaten my coworkers.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat your all of your employees fairly, and don't hire so many people for one job. Evenly distribute hours!!!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Inexperienced and unorganized

Saute Cook (Current Employee)

I have been working at T.G.I. Friday's full-time for more than a year

ProsLax atmosphere.

I guess if your a drug user, this would be a good place to work because there is no discipline for going into work high. Drunk yes, high no.

ConsUnorganized, work schedule comes out way to late so you cant plan your life the next week.

If they try and change the schedule because something happened, they dont ask you, nor tell you and expect you to know.

No drug screening so ppl use drugs all the time.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
