Darden Restaurants Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

The people i work with usually.

Coworkers are my favorite part

Review from Customer Success Dept

Customer interaction and customer satisfaction.

Review from Sales Dept

Being a leader of a great group of individuals, making great experiences for our guests.

When everything is going super smoothly

A good section to work in with good strong coworkers I can depend on and rely on of need be.

Making others feel comfortable and happy

Getting my paycheck and clocking out

Working with my co-workers and my customers. A lot of them come back because they like having me as their server

When i was in the morning time prepping the food for the line I got to listen to music while it was close to help me focus.

Being around friends and building friendships with guests. I enjoy helping guests.

At this point nothing at all

Working with my friends made can make or break a shift. During times when I'm 'in the weeds' the help is great, though it usually isn't possible to help much because everyone is in the same boat too. But the comradery and true friendship, lightening the mood with a joke or something, can change alot

A day where you can just serve your tables and have a nicr smooth shift.

Meeting new people and being able to provide good customer service

When there is a nice flow and a strong crew working, paired with a well tempered manager

The positive vibe all around.

I love to cook and serve orhers

I get to spend time with amazing people & learn new thing everytime i come to work

Being around good co-workers at work

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

Go back to being a "fish house"--maybe not all the way back to the nautical uniforms, but i tell you, not happier crew (or guests)

Hiring standards, firing standards, pay

No one really cares, people just show up and do the absolute bare minimum. They are unsanitary and disgusting.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Good workers aren't recognized for their efforts

Review from Customer Support Dept

Managers and the blatant favoritism and work ethic

Review from Sales Dept

Everybody hates bieng there so it's not fun

Review from Sales Dept

It's a means to an end is all. I'm very grateful for the job tho and like working there, but I can't honestly say I look forward to it.
