      Pros

      Coworkers feel like a family, flexible schedule, teamwork

      Cons

      Favoritism, management, micro managing, walking on eggshells whole shift

      Advice to Management

      Should probably stop talking behind your employees backs about how much you dislike them, and have a conversation about what needs to be improved instead, constructive criticism goes a long way. Don't belittle , treat others like human beings.

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

      Pros

      Fantastic training for openings
      Free meal or employee meal every day
      Large kitchen space
      Great recipes
      Truly team-oriented environment
      Quality focused
      Positive atmosphere most days
      Fast paced and usually busy
      Excellent training and presentations once again (The best I've ever seen for this industry)
      Acceptable pay

      Cons

      Okay Medical Benefits
      Lower management could use some better training for people skills
      Work/ Life balance can be hard to achieve
      Seems like they only hire good looking people (Seriously, almost everyone could be part time models)
      Employee recruiting is very aggressive and can come off as a little sleazy (Executives walking in to local competitors undercover and low key recruiting their workers)

      Advice to Management

      Improve your Benefits packages without cutting cost from other important factors, stop recruiting people in such a manner, you are a great company but that's not respectable in many people's eyes. Also, most of your chef's are immensely talented, but many lack social skills and patience that are necessary for this line of work.

      Negative Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

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

      Pros

      The hourly employees, both FOH and BOH staff, were easy to work with. Everyone was a team player and always willing to lend a hand when needed. The insurance for hourly employees is also very good.

      Cons

      Management is a joke. There was an issue with the way a manager was treating the employees and even after speaking to the other store managers and the regional director nothing was done. The manager continued making the environment so uncomfortable that in the short time I worked there more than 5 people quit because of this manager. There is no support from anyone that is not an hourly employee, its almost like once your on salary you forget about the little people.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees and actually do something to fix the problem and you wouldn't lose good, valuable employees or have such a high turn over rate.

    6. "Server"

      I have been working at Del Frisco's Restaurant Group part-time

      Pros

      - nice price point
      - flexible hours
      - they feed you every shift
      - hip locations
      - amazing food

      Cons

      The sidework is absurd. Can take up to two hours after your cut to leave, which is crazy for a restaurant

      Advice to Management

      Hire someone extra for busy shifts like Friday and Saturday nights just for the ridiculous sidework.

      Cons

      I was hired at the agreement to have Sundays off with my family I lived an hour away- so the hours aren't that made it hard. They didn't keep up their end of the bargain.

      Advice to Management

      Treat people like humans not robots.

      Excellent money
      Fun atmosphere
      Great People
      Great Food

      Cons

      "The Playbook" kind of influences lazy serving.
      Over staffing happens.
      Over booking happens.

      Advice to Management

      If FEEDing your servers is so important than why do you put them in failing situations despite having the tools to avoid them at the start.

      Pros

      High prices menu
      good business
      tips are are generally good, assuming good service
      no late nights

      Cons

      Afternoon shifts are unreliable at best
      you never know how long you'll be at work in afternoon
      Must learn wine knowledge to make money
      Expect to be hungry during your shifts, food is provided for 'family meal' absolutely disgusting and you are not allowed to order off menu even at full price

      Advice to Management

      Make staff happier by providing good food (relatively speaking) and being more accommodating with schedule changes
