Yard House Reviews

Cons

You can be there late hours and if understaffed you may have to work 6 days a week.

Cons

Micro-managers, constant fear of being written up, hard to qualify for benefits as FOH team member, slow development

Cons

Working extremely late nights and not always guaranteed business. On occasion being short staffed and overworked. When extremely busy one station of the restaurant seems to get overwhelmed and things don't go as smoothly. High comps.

Cons

Unless you move up from an hourly position do not plan on moving up. Outside management hires are treated poorly. Compensation for insurance is a joke. When the GM is having sex with employees it's hard to take the restaurant serious.

Cons

Late hours, amount of money made is variable

Cons

Company sold to a much larger conglomerate and changed culture practically overnight. Company values shifted and became more about the bottom line than their people.

Cons

*Management-constantly hearing different things from different people, sometimes 5 minutes apart. Ridiculously nit-picky at times. Often overworked and easily agitated. They are quick to criticize (often erroneously), and next to never offer words of praise or encouragement.
*Schedule/Hours- very unpredictable. They have such high turnover that they are constantly training the next batch of employees. When they are low in a given position, you can get a lot of hours and make decent money. When they have recently hired the latest batch of employees, hours can be overly scarce. Makes it difficult to predict how much you might make week to week
*Corporate mentality- Pretty much no regard for you as an employee. Overly corporate mentality that constantly drills employees at every turn about saving money so Management can get their bonuses. Constantly mentioning said bonuses, yet no one other than the Managers receive financial gain.
*High employee turnover
*VERY high pace during peak hours
*Concrete floor- Very hard on the body, as you are often times moving at a high rate of speed to accommodate your tasks

Cons

Strict corporate rules. I saw many other people leave or get fired but it's nothing unreasonable

Cons

There can be late hours and little to no weekends off.

Cons

Slow kitchen
Inconsistency with manager (a revolving door)
No support from management
