i got a pay check

Cons of working at Buffalo Wild Wings

management sucked. They didn’t care about you. in their eyes you were just easily replaceable. I worked there for years and did a three person job and tell me where I was getting paid less than someone that just barely got hired fresh out of high school. First job manager asked me tell me why you deserve a raise enough said.
