best first job experience - Hostess Outback Steakhouse Employee Review

Thoughtful leadership throughout organization Inclusive mentality built into foundation Collaboration across teams

Challenges can occur with peak demand in customer needs. Staffing shortages can hurt sales and customer experience Organizations has proven adaptive when issues arise (solve for cons)

I made amazing money there for 2 years.

They reduced sections to 3 or 4 tables. I had run shifts that I had 10 tables and my boss told me "I know u can do it." Friday nights went from $200-$250 nights to less than $100. I made $150 on average serving at a pizza diner 26 years ago. Corporate decided servers weren't their bread and butter. I switched jobs in town and daily they remember me from Outback. It's a shame really. I went to Outback this week and it was DEAD. 3 tables during the dinner rush. The new CEO played it wrong. I'll be surprised if they even exist in 5 years.
