My experience working here was extremely disappointing. The work environment felt very toxic, largely because of the leadership style. The General Manager often appeared frustrated, irritable, and openly negative toward the team, which created a stressful atmosphere on a daily basis. One of the biggest concerns was the expectation that employees should always be available to cover shifts. If you were unable to come in, even for legitimate reasons, it often felt like management viewed you negatively afterward. Career growth also seemed very limited. I met employees who had been with the company for many years without meaningful advancement or compensation that reflected their loyalty and experience. Recognition for hard work was also lacking. No matter how much effort you put in or how well you performed, it rarely felt appreciated. Everyone's experience may be different, but based on mine, I cannot recommend this workplace. If you're looking for a supportive environment where your contributions are valued and you have opportunities to grow professionally, I would encourage you to consider other options.


The general manager will have a few people he gives the most hours to and cross-trains them in different areas of the restaurant while telling other works, who has been there longer, that there are no extra hours to give or other positions to cross-train in.

The general manager will also assign bussing positions to hosts who have not been asked to do so just so the restaurant can have extra bussers on hand during peak hours.

This resulted in a muscle injury after months of complaining about being a busser when not asked to be one.

Fred is a great man with a great family.  Above store leadership is not up to the task of running multiple locations.  

The work life balance is poor.

The pay is a bit above average.  Benefits are poor.

Very high turnover with salaried managers which causes turnover in hourly employees.

Work as a server there if you can.  By far the easiest job and the highest paying.  Tipshare is minimal for the amount of work that others do for the servers.



check all the staff make sure everyone is there and all equipment is working properly.  I have learned how to keep the staff motivated and listen help solve there problems.  The management team is good.  Freds has there personal workplace culture where everyone is family.
The hardest part of the job is keeping staff focused on there designated job considering everyone is cross trained.
walking in to  happy staff makes for the best day.

I worked as the Host most of the time. Always greeting people with a smile. I also worked as the cashier for a small portion of my time there. I learned about money management and how to use a number of counting machines. Co-workers were kind and pleasant to work with. The management was exceptional. The hardest part was keeping a constant smile for 8 hours straight. The kindness that people showed was the best.

Sexist
Sweatshop Christian company
Racism
Low paying job
Discriminate against mental people
Favoritism
The managers takes advantage of hardworking employees. You can't get sick unless you want to get yelled at.  There is no room to grow unless you become the managers' favorite person. The place is dirty and unorganized. I wouldn't bother working for a company that doesn't care about its employee.

Management is sometimes not that great, there’s some favoritism. But overall you have a great shot at being the best. Family owned and all! The pay??? That’s great as a server. Once you start off as a host, or cashier. It’s very hard to get the server shifts as the turn over rate for servers are very low! 

It was a very good environment for the most part. I worked hard, with a smile. I seated customers and cashed them out. Other employees were kind and hard workers as well, but as soon as a new manager came to work for them it changed. He let me go because he told me I just didn't fit in. He was later fired for harassment, so I hold no grudges for this establishment.

This is a good place to work at if you need something on the side to get yourself a bit of cash. This is not a place that you will ever build a career out of. If you want to be able to move up in the company you need to be able to get REAL close with management. Otherwise you won't make it any where, favoritism is strong with this one.

Fred's has provided me with a stable environment to work in and socialize among coworkers and guests alike. I've gained insight into the world of successful family owned business, and will continue to fall in love with family I worked for.
