Constructive Feedback From Yard House Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Because any input or critisim brought to the management will ignored or acted as if you're wrong or like youre bringing negativity. the servers make 2-3x what the bartenders make at my location, very weird considering we are smack dab the middle of downtown, a bar district..
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    communicating but also instead of a lot of turn over we need to have an enviorment where we can all make money by doing better at multitasking
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Communication. Being approachable. Realizing we have lives outside of work. Helping. Stop being defensive and demeaning ( was told by our GM how embarrassed he is "to manage this store"... and that we're all replaceable." Yet preaches how we need to all respect each othet.)
