      I worked at Del Frisco's Restaurant Group full-time

      Pros

      People have been their strength for years but they have run off all of the good ones. Seems like new Mgmt at RSC would rather look good on paper for investors than show any concern for the backs of the people who propped up this once great conpany

      Cons

      Cutting labor to ensure no one gets benefits to reduce costs is obvious. With traffic down they have resorted to discounting.
      Less guests coming in the door cause servers to gouge the guest.

      Advice to Management

      Stop trying to sink the ship. Stop trying to screw the people that actually do the work and impact the guest

      I worked at Del Frisco's Restaurant Group part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Nice staff and clientele.

      Cons

      While working here was okay, there were several racial issues swept under the ug or hidden by management. 1. Getting rid of the Cheese steak egg rolls to get rid of and I quote "a certain crowd". 2. A rapper and actress came into the establishment, asked for a private room and said he would happily pay, management told him no (even though there were several empty rooms for the night) and put him in a corner. Later that evening, a Cubs player came in, requested a private room and was happily given the accommodations. 3. A noose was put in the dressing room. Instead of investigating who did it, an employee who brought it to everyone's attention was fired. Management never did anything about it.

      I have been working at Del Frisco's Restaurant Group full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      benefits after 3 months and full paid benefits after 4 years, health insurance and 401k

      Cons

      dress code is sexist and hypocritical, performance is measured only on guest reviews

      Advice to Management

      performance should be measured by a combination of guest reviews and employee interactions with the rest of the staff, i.e. being a team player, willingness to do what is best for the restaurant when needed

      Hire more managers to even the work load. Unhappiness and stress trickles down from the top.

      Pros

      Good work environment, management invests a lot into the restaurant and its employees, full-time benefits awarded, a lot of mobility to move up within the company.

      Cons

      Cash flow is inconsistent and the tip out is pretty high.

      Advice to Management

      Management needs to watch the tone they take with employees. They can come across as rude.
