Darden Restaurants reviews

I can't really think of one single strangest thing, but I used to have a lady that was somewhat regular order takeout, and she wouldn't even really use the menu. I mean, she'd start out by telling me what entre she wanted, and then modify it until it was something completely different. Then she had the nerve to ask one of the hosts if I was new since it was taking long for me to ring it all in. Then once I rang it in I had to deal with the understandably pissed off line cooks. This happened about once a week. Oh and she always demanded extra salad for free. And there's not really anything I would say to stay away from, just some things are overpriced. I CAN tell you that the best deal on the menu is kids chicken fingers with mac n cheese. It somes with breadsticks, a side, a drink, and a salad, and is about the same price as a salad by itself.

Actually, never...in Redlobster the crew will even "harvest" food that has been slightly over cooked and will not server anything messed up to our customers. It is quite amazing. (By harvest...aslong as it is safe to eat and not burnt to hell...the food is Donated to food banks)

Its not anything hard, just show up and look professional, be polite, the usual stuff you have practiced for ( that is if you have practiced for an interview) also from my expirence, Darden Managers are either picky or easy going. The job is simple but hard work. Good luck bro!

Did you get a free meal each day when you worked there? We don't. We only get 50% off when we're working. I usually skip lunch. A.k.a. Pick at the salad and sneak soup when the manager isn't looking

The staff that was not in management are amazing and fun to work with

management is always so stress, they will be rude to customers and tell employees to "find another manager" The do not jump in to help and take initiative until you start closing so they can leave. if your good at your job you will be expected to do more with no pay raise

you can go home with 25-75 bucks in cash a night even not being a server.

Good benefits

Horrible non experienced managers with a huge egos. No room to move up nor become CT.

None

None just horrible experience

Improve management expectations and policies

Best part was leavening that toxic work environment, when your mentally unstable from an environment it’s time to gon

Extensive opportunity for professional growth and development.

There is a lack of communication between management and difficulty adhering to company policies and procedures.

The salary is generous compared to other management positions within the industry.

Helping others and creating a positive and memorable experience for both the guest and staff.

Great Benefits, Great work-life balance, opportunity to make money

Repetitive

health care

Very kind and understanding. They work with you rather than against you.

I would improve the communication between managers and staff.

I prepared by having at least one to two questions about the work environment and what they are looking for in an employee.

Great Managers

Weight lifting !

Location, schedule flexibility, and variety of duties .

I like meeting new people everyday, and putting smiles on customers faces.

I don’t like that I do not get a break.

Free food, and I also get to talk to the customers and suggest meals to them.
