Assitant Kitchen Manager

September 2019 - October 2021 • Athens, GA

What I liked

I liked the relationships made working in the kitchen with my coworkers, the relationship with management was non-existent.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more honesty and transparency about pay. I was a manager and trusted by management but since I couldn't work as often as some of the people I was in charge of, they decided that I should never receive a raise and continue managing people that made MORE than me (~$2-3 an hour). I asked about this once and was told that I wasn't being a "team player" to which I promptly quit due to the lack of respect offered to me as a good employee.

Advice

Avoid the kitchen at all costs. I can't say much for FoH and the Bar since I never worked there, but I did hear about an instance when there was a friend of mine training at the bar with one manager and it was a very slow day. A guy came in and opened a $1000 tab, to which the manager responded by cutting my friend so he could keep the tip for himself and not share it. But definitely avoid ktichen

Banquet Cook

September 2019 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I liked being able to learn and cook. Other then that I had a horrible experience with the manager in the atlanta office. Would not recommend working at the atlanta location at all, the manager of the kitchen gave me hours for the next two weeks then just texted me telling me I don't need to show up and she would let me know when I was needed. After that I would occasionally ask if I had hours that week and would not get a reply or be told we will message you when we needed. I was never given a true indication or notice that I would be fired.

What I wish was different

The I wish I could have not been fired after the first day after training. The manager at least telling I was fired instead of hiring me for one day in Athens I never had the chance to work for more then 4 hours at most in the atlanta location for the catering.

Advice

DONT WORK FOR THE ATLANTA CATERING THEY JSUT HIRE FOR ONE DAY AFTER TRAINING FOR A FOOTBALL GAME AND WONT OUTRIGHT LET YOU KNOW YOUR FIRED. Manager of the kitchen had horrible communication after the initial week, the catering manager was very nice.
