Reviews about "food"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The pay is pretty good. Ok bonuses when you do get them. Lots of variety on the bars so you learn a lot if your a person that loves food and cooking.
Cons
Work all holidays so your family time is very limited. On those holidays your hours are not shorter at all so you spend all day at work away from your loved ones.
Continue readingThanks for sharing your insight. Working in the restaurant industry does often mean working holidays and we appreciate everyone at Golden Corral who works hard to serve our guests every day.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
None to speak of. Free food and more free food. Some people like working there but I'm not sure why. I like to be the best at what I do and be recognized for achievements, success. Those things are overlooked and under praised.
Cons
The corporation manages with fear and intimidation. They make promises they can't keep and despite my success were unable or unwilling to compensate me appropriately.
