T.G.I. Friday's Reviews

Former Employee – worked at T.G.I. Friday's full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great brand recognition; dedicated to customer service; great menu; a lot of opportunities for growth; and some great market leadership.

Cons – A a General Manager dominated company in terms of incentives; a lot of tenure GM's that probably should go; can't seem to find their footing in terms of is it a restaurant with a bar or a bar with a restaurant; many store closings in market that I live in which have prevented some growth opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't be afraid to make some changes in your GMs that are not performing or driving key talent to other stores; support your GMs in building their sales that align with their local competition; keep staple items and allow markets to have items that sell well regionally but may not in other regions.
