I enjoyed almost everyone I worked with.

The dishwashers work well together when we work together

Meeting new people, customers local and travelers

It’s a good fast pace job.. that’s works good wit

The discounts, for retail and food.

The waiter staff is very young and energetic. They seem motivated and less frustrated than the back of the house team.

The teamwork aspect and taking breaks.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The managers. The managers. The managers!

People to stay off their phones, care about their guests, maybe then u will have repeat customers

Review from Customer Support Dept

What needs to change is leadership. If we as employees felt we were heard/ respected our company culture/ atmosphere would be much better.

Review from Sales Dept

Corporate offices, HR department and district managers should do more in-house visits with the employees in management

We need more structure at my job. Theres no repurcussions to anything at all at my job. Managers have there favorites at my job and they let them do whatever they please, which leads to employee harrassment from said favorites.

They need to actually do what they say, act on what they claim. Instead its all lies.

Review from Admin Dept

Team work all the time

If my general manager stops with her double standards favoritism. Manager hale stops his ignorant and rude comments

Review from Customer Success Dept

My general manager has to get rid of her double standard and favoritism.

need people to show up for work, or hire new, and no one should work 12 hour shifts with no break

Care about your employee's mental health and pay for a change. If the managers wouldn't do what I do for my current pay, why the hell should I?

There is no appreciation and the supervisors threaten jobs if their personal agendas are not met.

Treat your employed with respect.

More servant leadership mentality at the support office. They need to celebrate the wins and get rid of the non useful people there. The entire leadership team needs to be rebuilt with genuine leaders that care about the people and brand.

Listen to the operators. Take care of them financially as well as support them when needed. Fear tactic needs to go away.

stop the playing favorite and change up the shifts so 1 AM isnt working 70% of the night shifts and the GM needs to close more then 1 night a month

Stand up for employees, stop promoting managers who want nothing more than a power trip. Fire managers who will blatantly say that they are allowed and expected to disrespect staff purely because they are a manager.

Review from Customer Success Dept

better managemnt. we have no contact numbers in our break room to contact our Dm Gm or Hr

They need more than one shift or pay more for the work expected out of the employees

Better pay for hourly employees. More labor hours. Paid holidays. More vacation
