Golden Corral Employee Reviews about "money"

Pros

Meal plan was only $4 for every shift you worked. If you like buffet food it can be a good deal. Money was good during the weekends and busy days (you can make well above minimum wage). Nice to get paid in tips and many customers were nice.

Cons

Meal plan was mandatory and you were told you can only eat once per shift, even if you worked a very long shift. Many customers would not tip since it was a buffet. Overall, you are overworked and not respected as a worker. As a server you have to: bus/clean tables, wipe down food bars, clean bathrooms (yes as a server if the bathroom is dirty you have to clean it), fill silverware/plate bins, and much more. Servers get less than minimum wage if you don't include tips and are expected to work at a fast pace in all areas of the restaurant. Tips vary greatly and sometimes you barely make minimum wage and if you don't make at least minimum wage, your hours can get cut due to "performance issues," even if the restaurant is slow. Many other employees (cooks, dishwashers, etc.) get paid less per hour than you do if you include tips and many are bitter about that (can't blame them, they should be paid more). Hours are irregular and your shifts are hardly consistent. Management is poor at best and customers can be very rude. Many customers do not speak English so communication with them can be difficult if only speak English. Servers tend to not work together on side work and tend to focus on only their customers. Overall, serving is only part-time and you only make $ if you have good shifts, and work as many hours as possible.

Pros

Easy work okay money not work the streas that the manager put on you and make you feel like your worthless

Cons

Everything is dirty.tags are out of date you can just put a new one on the item. Mangers don't care are gm does nothing besides give us stupid tasks when we are busy and never helps out customers and if he does he yells at your for asking him to deal with the problem because nof other manager wants to help

Pros

Good money and I loved doing what I was doing

Cons

The people you work with. The owner is crap.

Pros

Great treatment if you kiss up and just do everything you're supposed to do 100 percent of the time.

Cons

Schedule is terrible and full time isn't available. They want you there 12 days straight with no day off. All staff usually has a second job somehow because the money isn't too good.

Pros

Good money and fast pace environment

Cons

People not the nicest who eat there

Pros

Good money don’t have to share tips you determine how much you make extra shifts always available

Cons

No holidays off every holiday is mandatory

Pros

A good way to make fast money while also having the opportunity to serve friendly guests

Cons

although it's a good and fun place to work; management has failed in treating the servers fairly.

Pros

Pretty decent money and I really like the people at my location

Cons

I don’t want to be a career server so the job experience won’t count for much on my resume.

Pros

The money is great and they will definately give you as many hours as you want. Benefits available to new hires but they dont tell you that

Cons

They need bussers to keep tables turning. The restaurant is a mess because they expect servers to tend to peoples needs which doesnt allow much time for bussing tables. U will have no life. They work u 7 days a week and cannot keep help due to over working people

Pros

Pays above current market value

Cons

Not very people oriented always worried about making money and never correcting any problems
