Advice to Senior Management

N/A

Pros

Not much to say, some regular customers are nice, but company is having some trouble keeping customers.

Cons

bad management, also will not recognize when something done well, only when its bad. Everyone in state of confusion. Menu too extensive and confuses some customers.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay more attention to important issues not small insignificant ones, and cut the menu down.

Pros

Free Food, Decent Pay, medical coverage

Cons

No communication with Senior Management, rules constantly changing, extremely high turnover on the corporate level.

Pros

A place to start my restaurant management career
Really good ServeSafe training
It was nice doing some training at the corporate office

Cons

Local management was promoted by who the Area Manager liked better rather than who actually did their job . The computer system is painfully slow. The uniform standard has gone out of the window now. The entire time that I worked there I never got a raise. My pay was messed up after relocating and recieved a paycheck for 93 cent and only 1/2 pay for the next 10 weeks which ruined me financially. I lost my home and my credit.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay your restaurant managers what they are worth. If you pay them for their hardwork they will stick around and you won't have as much management turn over.

Pros

Free food and good benefits.

Cons

Long hours, low pay, and no room to move up. Managers have worked there their entire life and don't leave. Because of this, there are never any openings to move up to.

Pros

Good family atmosphere and nice hours

Cons

cheap people who come and dine and expect everything free

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to employees they know whatthey are doing

Pros

It was a great place to work, friendly staff. Relaxed work environment along with many other benefits. I loved it.

Cons

Sometimes I would arrive late, and the manager would chew me out. It wasn't my fault, and sometimes the kitchen was very dirty.

Advice to Senior Management

They could manage time better, do more fun employee activities, maybe even give employees a free meal every week or so.

Pros

Extra day off per month
Solid company-no debit
bonus
regular schedule
professional managers and leaders
Changes to make company better

Cons

Some changes to make the company more profitable. Some work some do not.
Since becoming mostly a shareholder company the smallest benefits were taken away, but the company still provides major benefits. (employee discount on retail, Christmas party)

Advice to Senior Management

Small benefits that are taken away often have the same impact as taking a larger benefit away

Pros

The customers and the food!

Cons

The salary was low and you never got a raise, I trained new ppl who they paid more

Advice to Senior Management

Respect your hard working long time employees!

Pros

Cons

the corp office si clueless

Advice to Senior Management
