Loved it 6-10 years ago. Management has made it pretty close to hell the past few years

What are some of the best things about your team?

Long time crew members are a joy to work with

What did you like most about the interview process?

The GM back then who has moved on to bigger and much better things

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

Management can improve. When you have managers that literally bow up and threaten crew members it is not a pleasant place to work

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Hire competent managers. The managers at my store are lazy, will not help team members out unless they absolutely have to (or unless the district manager is there is course). I have been with Red Lobster since 2009 and the level of incompetence with management has steadily went downhill in that time

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Bartenders are paid at a tipped hourly rate, which is fine except for the fact that they (at least in my store) do a majority of takeouts including Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Door Dash in which we do not make tips. Management does little to help when you are slammed with takeouts as well.
