Customers are great, job provides a challenge, family atmosphere

No work-family balance. Managers work an insane amount of hours leaving little time for a life outside of the four walls.
I have been working at Golden Corral full-time
Pros
Everything is done with integrity and senior management takes a long view when it comes to making decisions. As a private company they are able to do what's right rather than make decisions that will prop up the stock price short-term like publicly traded concepts I've worked for.
Cons
Buffets are an inherently challenging concept to execute well.

I worked at Golden Corral part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Tips & all staff are like family excluding Managers!
Cons
Imagine not being able to pay rent because your Manager took you off the schedule for the week even after the manager OVER her said that you weren’t suspended. Management is childish & runs the store off of emotions . NO roution WHATSOEVER, they only look out for the people who’s been there 10 years plus! (That’s what a manager told me directly). You will NOT move up in this location unless your dealing with a manager! Absolutely NO breaks. I ate 3 donuts 15mins before my shift ended & was told to pay FULL price! Management pick & choose who can do what! The managers will NOT give you higher authority contact info so the only way you can get recognition is by writing a review. I got wrote up & suspended for eating 3 donuts & THIS is the reason I quit. Even after this review nothing will be done about this restaurant! If you have bills to pay this is not the place to work if your not highly favored!
Advice to Management
Grow up or step down from management. Set an example for the “team/family” your business is SUPPOSED to have!
