Tyrannical Leader Craig - Server/Bartender Doc B's Fresh Kitchen Employee Review

Pros

If you are driven, organized (and attractive), there is upward mobility within this service industry organization. The money could be good, but not always consistent. Coworkers are some of the very best folks I've ever known. Solid health insurance for full time employees (in Chicago at least).

Cons

The owner is a tyrant who overworks his managers, micromanages all aspects of the business, and doesn't trust his employees, or give them real support to be good leaders to the rest of the team. He pays managers a lot but works them to death. There is ZERO work/life balance if you do anything more than serve or bartend within this organization. This could be a great organization as it has some amazing folks both front and back of house, but Craig's strong grip on the company is actually keeping it from growing and leaving employees feeling satisfied and happy.

Pros

— Food you serve is good. — Guests are generally nice.

Cons

— Will beg you everyday to pick up more shifts then you come in and there is no reason for you to be there. — System is setup to favor the restaurant, not the server. Server spend more time doing side work than serving tables. — 3 table section max. Those tables might only be 2 top tables… — Management has verbally threatened every server to put them in 2 table sections if they don’t do more side work, but the side work not done was also not assigned to anyone so it’s really managements fault. — Management doesn’t have a real training staff and when you show up to work you might just be training someone without notice. Even if you are still a recent hire. — Only benefit of training is a free meal, no additional compensation and you cannot say you do not want to be a trainer. It’s expected. — Management doesn’t track openers or closers and blindly assigns them. You might close 3 nights in a row while others don’t close at all. — Closer has no benefits. No extra tables, just more side work and responsibilities. — Feeling financially underwhelmed for how much effort you put into the shift. — No auto-grat on large parties.
