      Pros

      The company does a really good job hiring great workers. There’s also a lot of room to move up. I started off as a host and worked my way up to a server easily.

      Cons

      Very corporate. Very structured, if that’s your cup of tea

      Best management I've ever had. Very supportive. St. Matthews, KY you rock!

      Pros

      Great if you are in college or are just looking for something a couple hours at night because of the hours. Also a great company to grow within. Many locations so if life takes you elsewhere, chances are high you can just move stores. Management is trained thoroughly which helps everyone in the store.

      Cons

      Holidays such as Mothers Day are very busy and you may have to work outside your availability but staff is taken care of on these days (breakfast, lunch, dinner, & snacks, games, etc)

      Pros

      Teamwork, spirit, overall atmosphere, and strong training were some reasons I loved my job.

    9. "Laid back!"

      Pros

      Super easy work days
      Fun
      It’s like one big party every day

      Cons

      The managers are more so friends than actual managers. There isn’t any real leadership. That’s why the turnover rate is so high at my local store.

      You’re only allotted a break if you’re a smoker.

      Advice to Management

      Honestly, smoke breaks need to be cut out. I worked as a hostess & every day our servers would go outside smoke then come back in smelling disgusting and walk straight up to a table approaching guests.

      There should be rules set in place on what you can do for unhappy costumers. In my town, everyone wants stuff for free. We had people all the time eat almost their entire steak, leave a single bite and say they hated it and the manager would jump to “I’ll take it off” that’s a lot of lost money added up over the week. Almost like she just didn’t want to deal with them.

      I have been working at Texas Roadhouse part-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      If you want to make a difference at your Texas Roadhouse then taking on this role is a surefire way to make an impact. Roadhouse focuses on the positives and recognizes employees for their hard work. This position is the liaison between management and staff. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with the position and many people will continue to seek you out even after training.

      Cons

      If you try juggling the training coordinator position while being a server or bartender you’ll find it difficult without the backing of management. You can’t be there all of the time so communication is key.
