Centraarchy-Restaurants

This place has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, it’s completely mismanaged. The GM has zero experience in hospitality, never having worked as a server or in any restaurant role. The pay posted is misleading, and they don’t even tip out the hosts, which is a huge red flag. The organization is a mess, you end up doing a ton of extra work just to help the team keep things running. You’re treated like a number here, and they’ll fire you out of nowhere without any warning or write up. They claim to hire for full time hours, but don’t actually schedule you, so you’ll be left scrambling to find a second job. They have picks about chooses about who they let get away with what so if you’re not a butt kisser just be aware. The only saving grace is the hardworking team of servers and kitchen staff, but the management is so bad they’re on track to run this place into the ground. Avoid at all costs.

This rating is for Burro Loco specifically-a CentraArchy restaurant

They are undergoing lots of new management. I have been steadily making less money with fewer people coming in the door. Many servers complain about customers and management and barely handle their responsibilities and management complains about server negligence without addressing the issues. Customers for the most part are very pleasing and relaxed. It is difficult to make money when Summer is gone. Cinco de Mayo is the busiest day of the year and you can make lots of money if you work all day. 

This is a great job for a first time/seasonal server, but long term is hard with little business in the "off-season"

its just sad to work there now. everything that was fun is no longer due to management trying to change everything and not thinking it out. back of house stays understaffed. but management wants you to flip tables as fast as possible even though kitchen cant keep up. the place is a mess and depression to work for all around. also if you want to be a server here dont. you wont make nearly as much money as the servers at the marsh. managment has made it clear that you not allowed to bring your own food and eat and your not allowed to eat anything in the kitchen either. along with making it clear they do not want you taking any breaks of any sort. 

You will be expected to assume the responsibilities of team members who are unable to fulfill their job descriptions, despite the company continuing to employ them.
The kitchen facilities are in a state of significant disrepair, with equipment that is rarely, if ever, maintained. There are no established systems or clearly defined roles for staff. Formal training for managers or team members is virtually nonexistent; new employees are expected to learn independently through trial and error.
I strongly advise against investing your time with this company. They will demand a high level of performance and versatility from you while providing little to no structured training or support.

I have learned and grown so much from this job. A typical day is fast-paced without a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time. My customer service skills have grown immensely from working here and I have learned how to love the public and be patient with people who need help or have concerns in a particular situation. The only downside of this job would be that there is no room for growth, and since this is true I would like to find another place to learn and grow from as well.

I spent 2 years managing 10 hour shifts that ended at midnight at the earliest. I have 3 young children and asked them to rotate my shifts so that I could see my kids. It never happened. 
Upper management never thanks or appreciates the work you do.
I enjoyed the people I managed and the customers I talked to.
I learned a lot about what a company needs to do to keep their employees happy and motivated. The problem was that I learned it by experiencing the opposite.

I have very mixed feelings. I was able to make good money working as a bartender, but management salary was very unfair. They would hire outside management and pay them much more than employees who had been working for the company for years. They recently switched CEO's and are going through a lot of changes, some good some bad. Upper management is sneaky and conniving and they really only see dollar signs. 

Upper management = poor communication skills, no empathy. Refuse to adapt to the changing world around them. Stuck in 1995 when it comes to company culture, food and values. No tattoos, read your Bible vote for Trump and you would love working here. There are major insect infestation and health concerns at Charleston location. Avoid EMPLOYMENT AT ALL COST unless

I worked with Centra Archy for 7 years. I was responsible for all on hands training as well as online training for front of the house employees. Under my supervision of training, all applicants completed training with a score of 97%

they lie about what you will make and not just for slow times, they ask you to have crazy standards but don't listen when you ask to have a better setup. The GM is  never there at night to close so they leave a server and a bartender to close the place after they already been working all day taking care of people. We never seemed to have anything we needed and customers were always mad.
