Bullying, nepotism, unsafe work conditions

Bartender

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Some of the best money in the industry for servers and bartenders (managers are notoriously underpaid)

Cons

By far one of the WORST employment experiences I have ever had. Managers call the employees "retarded". Staff bullies new employees and intentional will sabotage team members for the purpose of getting more hours for themselves or hiding their own mistakes

Stay Away, honestly, not worth your time and energy

Manager

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

I spent a good few minutes thinking about this, I don't have anything good to say about it. A discounted meal that is overpriced to begin with is as far as I'll go as a "pro"

Cons

It's all bad. Stay away, seriously.

Disappointing experience

General manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

In general, a nice opportunity and what would have been a fair compensation if hours were as per contract.

Cons

- abuse of power by the upper management, especially from the Director level + - inappropriate approach to work/life balance with expectation to pull 90h a week with no support processes in place - dismissive and poor communication style between upper management and middle management structures - lack of standard operating processes for joint venture projects - probation period with 150%-200% utilisation resulting in termination of employment without any probation monitoring and active feedback - dismissal process lacking any foundation - lack of support for delivery of staff training for new restaurant opening in hostile conditions (massive delays based on venture partner’s timeline, lack of training space, lack of upper management intervention)
