Darden Restaurants Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

On days when certain staff and managers are there, the environment can be great.

Supportive leadership and encouragement to advance

The prevailing desire on the part of the staff to deliver excellence in their work.

Nothing extremely toxic work place.

We celebrate culture every day. We celebrate wins and we recognize achievements and the hard work that goes into making it happen. We have fun competitions that drive our teams to really take pride in their work. And it shows, at the end of the day.

There is nothing positive to say

We are an everyone culture. Everyone is welcome and treated with respect.

My co workers and my 401k are the only reason i still work there

Teamwork and everybody is willing to help

The coworkers and customers are postive

Review from Sales Dept

That's the one thing management was good at. They may not appreciate anyone financially. But they sure to give out verbal reassurance liberally

You are treated like family and also if anything is wrong they are there to help out

There is never a negative moment

Can't think of any words for that question.

Pride in the food and drinks, strong personalities in front and back of house positions, opportunity to move up to management

The positive attitudes and energy

Its always expanding and changing

The people that try to convince you it's not that bad

Working together to get through lunch or dinner rushes, it really feels like a team environment as if we're going to war or something together.

Review from Operations Dept

They truly treat us like family. They make decisions for their employees not just their investors.

Review from Operations Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

In my restaurant, favorites are clear.

The GM needs a better attitude. Needs to stop harassing employees and bullying them.

Better management. Management that are there to have a good sales shift.

Start doing right by everyone that works here not select other like I said run server sales and see how only select few kept a full section

Treat people like people and pay them fairly

Being a team and not working to benefit oneself.

I think the best thing that could happen is for the managers to take the complaints and concerns of their employees seriously

Review from Operations Dept

I think every aspect of darden could use some improvement. Oir management team doesnt communicate properly with staff and it slows things down and causes co fusion with every aspect of our work. When we are not all on the same page we do not execute our mission 100%. I think a big FOH change should

Review from Sales Dept

nothing i would say although the pressure gets to you and creates a weird environment

Fully staffed and friendly co workers.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Review from Sales Dept
