Olive Garden Team Employee Reviews

What are some of the best things about your team?

my friends!!!! the friendships and money have def kept me here long!

We're very comfortable communicating with each other

I like how everyone seems to get along well at work and teamwork is great

Review from Sales Dept

We all work hard and do what we can for each other.

The few coworkers that sre helpful

They work together to achieve the desired goal

I really enjoyed the other servers i worked with. I made really great relationships.

Review from Customer Success Dept

We are all held to the same standards.

We sync. The teamwork and productivity comes second nature while we enjoy ourselves everytime we work. The employees are a family and its why i work there.

They are the only people who are friendly to each other is the work environment.

There are friendly until they weren't

The teamwork in some cases

They help get food out if im busy

We work together very well

They all support each other

The servers and other hosts are the only reason I've stayed for this long. If it weren't for them I would've been out of there months ago. They make my job enjoyable and even when we're not busy they can find appropriate ways to keep everyone entertained (yet they get in trouble for it).

Subject: Request for Reconsideration of Termination HR Representative/District Manager Olive Garden Dear HR Representative/District Manager, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request reconsideration of my termination from Olive Garden on July 23, 2024. On July 19, 2024

Review from HR Dept

Hard working and determined individuals

Quality team of people who have great attitudes.

This location lacks teamwork but is because of the pay

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Train everyone no ones knows what there doing

Review from Customer Success Dept

We need to work as a team. Everyone needs to pull their weight. You won't always like the people you work with but while at work you are their for the guests. Communication is a key part in every job.

One big improvement needed is the understanding of your area is your my area is mine. While it is okay to help coworkers with theirs stations codependency is not acceptable and the lack of surveillance in store is unacceptable as I have been assaulted at that job not once but twice.

Take accountability, be prepared for consequences. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

Coworkers are only an issue when they know they are "special" and they think they have authority over you or that they are superior to you.

Respect and care no ignore the problem

Coworkers consist of felons who are allowed to commit felonies/misdemeanors without concern from management or HR, over 50% employees non-English speaking, cussing at employees is accepted, and management will literally lie in order to get approval to fire you. Awful waste of time and traumatic.

Review from Sales Dept

The coworkers need to work on being better as a team and holding each other accountable

Communication and respect is the biggest issue

Team work and manners is good.

They need servers who can actually handle serving.

To be more team oriented and not selfish

Colmunication and equal treatment is key

Review from Customer Success Dept

Help eachother out more. Everyone doesnt care

Everyone is lazy and managers hire the worst people and treat them better than their hardest workers

Stop being so lazy and actually do their jobs. Especially when they get paid more for doing less than me

Review from Product Dept

Employees are great. Its the managers that arent good.

They need better training and held accountable

Most are ok but others need to work on their Attitude towards others

Review from Product Dept

f bombs pierce the air like taco bell farts. We need less of this behavior because it wrecks the cohesiveness of the team. Telemichus would be upset
