- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good tips if a server
Cons
Hard to become server though
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-You don't share tips -Everyone is really nice -Pretty straight forward -Plenty of training -Lots of people working all the time(sometimes to help if needed) Customers choose where to sit(if you get a good section you can make good $$/vise-versa)
Cons
-Customers choose where to sit(meaning if nobody sits in your section you don't make any money-I think having host seat guests would help a lot) -Plenty of training (even if you have 2+ yrs experience-like me-I wanted to jump right into making $$) -Lots of people working all the time(Didn't give me enough hrs-I went almost 2 weeks before I was put on schedule) -Charge for meal(majority of industry provides 1 meal a shift) -No discounts for family -Surprisingly lot of other employees didn't speak English -Fairly big dining area to clean(didn't provide vaccum)

Pros
Employee discount, breaks, work life balance, customers, supervisors
Cons
Hours, pay, coworkers, holidays, structure
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Golden Corral promotes ownership. If you're working in a corporate store as a manager you have a real opportunity to become a true owner. Even the compensation is set up to reward you like you're an owner. For franchisees that ownership gives a lot of freedom to adapt to the needs of the team. Most people I know at different Corrals feel like their store is a family.
Cons
The buffet business is hard work. This is not a management job for those who can't make a commitment to the schedule.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Flexible schedule if you have a crazy life style.
Cons
Paid $2.30 an hour. Tips where so bad most tables leave $1 or $2 . They make servers clean bathrooms and pretty much all the restaurant from blinds to gum under the table to brass all for $2.30 an hour. A fantastic day you make 100 a shift if you where extra friendly with some customers.
