Cafe Rio Mexican Grill Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

Being recognized for the good work I am doing, instead of only being recognized for the mistake I made. Being able to have little moments of connective humanity, instead of just being "A Machine At Work." Being able to connect with my coworkers in momentary chat makes the shift a lot more joyful.

Cuatomers amd people amd general

Review from Product Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Management can be tone-deaf and not helpful. It is stressful and intimidating to ask for help.

Review from Finance Dept

lack of communication across the entire company

Review from IT Dept

The lack of caring of the executive team and a bad vibe in the office because of it.

Review from Operations Dept

Wrong priorities. People used to love CR. Now it is a dumpster. Go into any restaurant and see that the employees are not friendly, seem stressed, the restaurants are dirty, and service is awful. Invest in making customer service better. Nobody cares how fancy the ads are if the service is lousy.

Review from Finance Dept

That cannot possibly be answered in 300 characters.

Review from HR Dept

It can be very difficult to work in the office when the noise level is high. I've had a hard time hearing on phone calls and my concentration is often interrupted with shouts, chants, laughter, balloon popping, singing, etc. Some coworkers and I often get headaches trying to block out the noise.

Review from Finance Dept

talked down to by management

Review from Customer Support Dept

in the hours and in the salary of the staff

Review from Customer Support Dept

I would like to feel a higher level of mentorship and connectivity with the senior team - investment in building relationships and not just having me complete my work. Also, i value recognition for work completed, but feel the focus is typically on what was missed.

Review from Finance Dept

The unchangeable schedules for manager

Review from Admin Dept

not related to cafe rio i just dont know who decided we as a society have to work to live

Review from Customer Success Dept

El equpo de trabajo, no hay compromiso iniciando por los asistentes de los gerentes, muchas veces por el cargo se les olvida las funciones.

Review from HR Dept

It feels as if I've hit a dead end with no room for improvement/advancement.

Review from Sales Dept

CHANGE THE GENERAL MANAGER AT BLUE DIAMOND PLEASE! She'll never do anything, makes employees do all the work, yell at cashier for not charging everything or the person on caller for over portioning, sends employees to get items for store and wont give gas money, takes break before employees, etc.

Review from Product Dept

While department culture is strong the overall business culture seems weak and disorganized. Many requests come through last second. Lots of higher ups have a small business mindset and need to adapt to the fact that we're more of a medium-sized business. Process and culture should reflect that.

Review from IT Dept

I'm confused how one of the company's goals is always about staffing but it seems like the team in charge of staffing is always messing around. Up front talking to eachother about nonsense. Helping the receptionist do all of her duties but supposedly our stores are all understaffed. Makes no sense.

Review from Marketing Dept

I think leadership should really look at what their reports are doing. A lot of employees here kiss up and act like they're doing so much when in reality they're failing at what they do. Underqualified leaders are recognized here just because of their story, but have no education or experience.
