California Pizza Kitchen Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Im not sure about it

I can be assured of hearing at least one false statement per week

Pay level is adequate for California

Review from Operations Dept

Fair and considerate pay here

I am paid very competitively with good benefits.

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Being rewarded for my hard work instead of just making me do more work when my coworkers slack off. Being able to add auto gratuity for parties of six or more. Going back to caring about the guest experience instead of turn and burn mentality. Allowing a 10 minute break without making me feel bad.

Review from Sales Dept

I think when i do takeout/bar/serving, that $11 is not enough pay for three jobs.

They keep employees at part time hours to keep from giving them benefits.

Company performance is poor so poor bonus potential

I'm underpaid. I got ripped off on my last check.

Yes, when i have to bus table, serve and help host while im only getting paid for serving and my manager lying to me saying i get more money when i do not.

It would be nice if everyone wasn't treated as though they have no intelligence. If the county and state you are in don't have a mask mandate and you are vaccinated why do we have to continue to wear a mask? Mask doesn't stop the spread and is a health risk for some people.

The number of hours of work per week doesn't add up or fair to my salary. Compensation needed to be higher for the amount spent off-site.

Review from Operations Dept

better pay for employees (in Hawaii)
