Even though I enjoyed working with my co-workers, I had a negative experience with the company as a whole. - Bartender/Server BJ's Restaurants Employee Review

Pros

The training is paid, but there are only a few opportunities for growth.

Cons

It seems like the management prioritizes their bonuses over the welfare of their employees. The Bar staff was constantly overworked due to being understaffed, and the customers at the Mission Valley branch can be quite unpleasant.

Pros

Very busy. Constant flow of customers coming in.

Cons

Wild expectations for servers. Run your food and the food for the whole rest of the floor. Bus for the whole floor. Obtain customer reviews in their internal system - your job depends on this - but the system only works 15% of the time and most customers won’t do it.
