      I have been working at LongHorn Steakhouse part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Free training meals, great atmosphere, best management I've worked for in 5 different jobs and industries. Nice hours and work well with my availability. If you work in a good region/demographic the people who visit the place are also nice!

      Cons

      No cons yet, the only bad thing is sometimes there are people who are rude, but thats not Longhorn's issue.

      I have been working at LongHorn Steakhouse part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Fun people to work with, Good environment, potential to make good money

      Cons

      Bartender flexibility is non-existent, more work for less money as Bartender, many things are not ordered and stocked so you have to improvise when making drinks.

      Advice to Management

      There is no incentive to become a Bartender. Yes, you receive tip share for drink sales, but the amount you make total (and in tips) is far less than a server. 9/10 Bartenders do not get a section, tips are split between 2 bartenders on the weekend (even if they are awful nights), and with only 4-5 bartenders hired, there is not flexibility with schedules. The To-Go servers get paid more than us hourly and in tips on some nights. During the week, Bartenders have to do all the To-Go orders with no To-Go server wage.

      I have been working at LongHorn Steakhouse part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      They brought in some amazing managers to fix out store. Everyone gets along now and it is usually a great environment to be in for a kitchen that can sometimes be high-stress

      Cons

      Poor management when I first started last year. Micromanagement doesn’t help anyone in a restaurant.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to employee concerns and maybe have a meeting every couple months to figure out if anything should be changed or revised.
