What is the best part about your compensation package?

Insurance benefits ie, dental, medical and vision

Review from Sales Dept

Management here. We get 3 months paid medical leave. One year salary free life insurance. Great insurance packages. Stock benefits. 401K match is consistently at 100%-120% at 6% of your salary. Discount mall is hundreds of discounts on events, theme parks, hotel/car, products galore, shoes, et all.

Great insurance choices are the best part of my compensation package.

I can cash it out

PTO, health insurance, 401k, employee discount

The health care i just wish i had paid time off

The Roth 401 k plan

Anniversary pay yearly is nice. I dont utilize benefits. I do use the 401k which is nice to have.

All of it im serious

Job growth & cross training & insurance package

Review from Operations Dept

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

Experience does not equal fair pay.

Lower prices for benefits and more options

Higher rates and full health benefits.

Yes all the time..specially by manager.

If you worked the number of hours it to complete all assigned tasks successfully, we were looking at 70 hour weeks, not to mention the close-off-open-mid- off-open-close--vindictive GM

I feel undervalued because I'm overlooked when it really counts, also being compensated is pretty much off the table. There's always a excuse.

The payout system never has made sense to me. Nearly every shift, no matter lunch or dinner, busy or slow; I am usually leaving with less than 50 dollars in my pocket ("tips") after having to give the Manager about the same amount during the end of shift Cashing Out. Somethings wrong with payouts.

A server who can acually bring home a paycheck would be nice.

I'm always given the low traffic areas whole w other always get the busy sections never been given the opportunity that they have check your server reports compare the difference never have I walked out without doing my side work nor silverware yet my work is not seen or acknowledged things are comp

I am very undervalued at this store I am a hard worker I do my side work I aim to please my customers I upset menu items daily I am not given a chance at this store

Care about your employees Treat others how you want to be treated

My anniversary pay was turned into a joke after 9 years with the company

If we were paid according to our knowledge and what qualities we brought to the table.

Review from Product Dept

About a thirteen percent raise. I at least need to be paid more if I am that much better than other employees.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Georgia serving wage is ridiculous

Review from Sales Dept

Unappreciated, not respected, underpaid, stressful environment
