Aspen Creek Grill

For anyone above the ground labor force (servers, bus boys, cooks, etc), not too shabby of a place to work for. Lots of potential for advancement as they are growing and promote from within, but as for the bottom guys, they are not treated with much respect pay wise. Servers are paid the tipped minimum wage ($2.31/hr), most other staff are paid $10-12 an hour, while bus boys/hosts/ and bar receive tip share (a cut of 3% of all server sales for that shift). 
Guests are not forced to provide gratuity for any party size at all. So no matter what a server gets tipped, the amount of 3% of the food they sold goes to tip share. This is not a percentage from the sales, this is ANOTHER 3% tacked on top of the sales. so this 3% comes out of their tips. When no gratuity is required, tips are entirely hit or miss. Aspen is one of the many chains who works this way.
However, Aspen has a strict 3 table size limit for a server's section. So the amount of money you make a night, depends entirely on what section the manager gives you that night. A manager is often too busy and stressed to realize when you've been give a small table section everyday for 3 weeks and are therefore making no money. This is a very unreliable form of income. Stressful and rough. Would look for solid hourly pay before picking up a server job here.

Also, management rarely lets you know if they feel you are performing badly. They will reward those who are doing well but provide no feedback to those doing poorly. This makes it very hard to get better.

employees get a 30% discount, no free meals. Also, the dress code for servers is jeans and a long sleeve black t-shirt. In texas in the middle of summer, this is rough.

On average, as a server, I make $12/hour working here.

If you're positive and hard-working, you can do very well here. Even if you have no restaurant experience, as long as you have a good attitude and are willing to learn, you will do just fine. Many of my friendships have started at Aspen, and management will look out for you so long as you're willing to work hard and be a team player. However, if you're not willing to put the work in and maintain a good attitude and work ethic, you will be weeded out. Serving is an job that you generally get out of it what you put into it.

Id have to say if we were un staffed .most of my co workers were very helpful if one. Needed help or etc we'd always help one another

Out going it's not only a restaurant it also has a bar that was awesome 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My overall days there were great love the scenery as well it was wall mounted with an Aspen kind look with rocks mounted every where with wood finished look

I’ve really enjoyed working at Aspen Creek. The management team is supportive, approachable, and makes an effort to make employees feel valued. They understand that life happens and are willing to work with your schedule when they can, which has made balancing work much easier for me.

What stands out most is the atmosphere. It’s a place where people are encouraged to learn, improve, and help one another. Hard work is recognized, and there are opportunities to grow if that’s something you’re interested in. It’s a fast-paced environment, but it’s one where I’ve felt supported by both my coworkers and the leadership team. I’m happy to still be part of the team and would recommend it to anyone looking for a positive place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the people working and how easy it was 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The GM degrades you for every single mistake you make how good your day is depends on how they’re feeling that day and constantly hired new people and cut your hours 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s alright it depends sometimes the work environment is fun sometimes is toxic and stressful 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When it’s full expect for servers and managers to get mad at you especially on holidays dont expect help when you need it when it’s slow it’s okay it can be fun sometimes

Management sucks. Will only train you for 2 days then you are on your own. If you are in need of money do not solely rely on this job, all managers will not schedule you for weeks on end then slam you with back to back shifts , bad work environment no care for employees, but will constantly overhire people. Managers WILL have favorites, and no diversity here. Case in point this is an okay job for starters but do not plan on staying and thriving here, this is definitely NOT the place for this. If you are able please work somewhere else, walk ons is a good job and pays wells.

Mangers are not professional give rude comments, take u off schedule if u make a mistake, make rude comments to some guest that come in, get paid minimum wage + tip , the building is not big enough for rushes so it’s very crowded when busy and extremely stressful bc of that. I also  had an emergency happen a day I supposed to work so didn’t go in and I was later sat down and they basically told me I was lying and asked me very inappropriate questions abt what happened. Overall a bad working environment the only thing good abt this place is some of the co workers and food. 

Aspen Creek Grill is a great place to work if you can handle being reprimanded for the littlest things by the manager. Working there was the most stressful work environment i have ever been a part of. The people you serve are rude and cold, and the manager never backs up her employees. If you like being threatened your job for looking at a piece of paper on the bulletin board for "too long", then this is the place for you. The coworkers are great and amazing people, until they slowly start to get fired one by one (for having tables walk out on tabs). The turnover rate is astounded.

I really enjoyed working here but being a mother and the main income in my household there wasnt enough business coming in for the amount of servers on the floor so i want making enough money to provide for a family of 3 but i can say for a first job/student job or for someone who isnt trying to make ends meet this is a really good place to work everyone is pretty good at team work (one of the best places I've worked) and the managers are really understanding and if they do get mad and get on to you during stressful nights they come and talk to you later on.

I’ve worked at Aspen Creek (Noblesville) since the building was still being built. It has been my second home and I have made so many connections, friends, and memories. I’ve been a bartender the entire time, and serve from time to time.  I love the management, as well as a vast majority of the staff. Money is pretty great at the bar, and servers can make a good chunk of change too with the right work ethic and personality. Great food- I swore to myself many years ago I’d never again work somewhere that I have to lie about quality of the food. Overall I’ve loved working for Aspen.
