Review from Customer Success Dept

Flexible and willing to give and take feedback

Four years in, my headship has been top notch the whole time. I started the week Covid shut everything down. Darden went above and beyond in making sure that the boots on the ground had everything we needed to safely run our restaurants. And the measures to care for their Team Members impressed me.

I can always depend on my leaders to point my in the best direction.

Nothing really stands out about them. They threw me under the bus

They are on point always

They are open and listen whenever I need them

Understanding what the team members need.

Every manager I've ever worked with works just as hard as the hourly workers

Supportive, caring, and always willing to help

The manager I work for she was so sweet and nice and everybody under her was cool and sweet too. They made sure whatever the problem or anything that the employees need they would get. I like working there it was like a family.

They are always stircing for efifciency and whats best for the company

The company looks to hire only those who are highly skilled leaders

I love everything about it

The Support Center is always there for us and teaching us. It really does provide support and I never look at it as a "corporate office"

Supportive, patient, good with customers, most hired from within. Can become almost parental figures, and you can tell they put their heart into the place. Excluding the GM

the laughs and banter we have to help ease the stress, and also the communication when things have changed like the menu

Everyone is treated equally and respectfully.

They are very supportive and helpful

They are honest and up front

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Treating people better, they treat employees as disposable

Treatment of all employees fairly and without bias of gender or race.

Knowledge and respect in the workplace

Follow their own policy's manager and crew member .

Go back to the basics---Guest-Employee--Investor priorites folks--Quality-Value- & Service-- nobody remembers those days--employes begged for shifts-wow, those were the days!!

The GM needs to learn to support his team members and value them. The GM also needs to follow through on things he says he will. He needs to support his team instead of tearing them apart.

Understanding that it's a team.

The stress of having to meet (and exceed) daily requirements for guest counts, wine sales, add-on's and everything else does not always help people succeed, more often, it creates a harsh, unsettled environment that workers don't want to be, and they quit.
