Former Employee – worked at Red Lobster part-time for more than a year

Pros – Servers can make a good deal of money and that's great :)

Cons – It's common for managers to yell at the servers in front of other employees and ask them to do extra side work plus bus their own tables even though the servers have to tip out the "service assistants". The place is poorly run...period!

Advice to Senior Management – Your management style stinks! Re-think all that you do and you might turn that ghetto restaurant around.

Former Employee – worked at Red Lobster part-time

Pros – The people were cool to work with...low to minimal drama. The money was decent...on a good night you could make 150+. There was a pretty decent customer base. 50% off food was cool...free biscuits until you're sick of them.

Cons – The management was terrible. Bottom line most of the managers didn't have clue as to what they were doing. Don't plan on moving up too quickly. A lot of whiners, that can get annoying. When it's slow expect to make $30-40 because managers tend to over schedule servers. You can only have 3 tables at a time because some servers can't handle more. I could go on...but whatevs
