Everything need to get better
Review from Sales Dept
Focus more on the customers instead of who they like and don't like
Communication, We need radios to be able to communicate and they still need to fix them.
The guests are what keep us in business. The servers are the face of Red Lobster. More communication and management of servers is needed.

Nothing I don't have a package
NA, was never aware of compensation packages
Its all good i love it
The benefits that they offer is great.
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel undervalued mainly because I feel like I have to drop everything to work, I readjust my schedule all the time. I would feel better if my time was respected.
I was part time for 8 years but could not contribute to retirement.
I do not like how much I tip out now as a server. The server wage is too low.
My manager is unproffesional and takes me off the floor FIRST ALWAYS. She is behind the bar on a saturday night because were so busy and she cut me at 730 im being treated unfairly and its becoming out of hand!!
Include 18% tip on all bills. Have a better management system.
