Flagship Restaurant Group

The company seemed great at first upon being hired. It wasn’t until the training when things went astray. The training was long and rigorous with empty promises. They say they appreciate each employee but they overwork Barback’s to 13+ hours. Don’t have enough staff. Don’t give any breaks and get upset when you try to take a small one to catch your breath. During training they had us take a test and said it meant nothing if you didn’t pass and you would get multiple chances. That wasn’t the case for some employees as they were let go after failing and when they tried to reach out to management they were ignored. Some even contacted the ceo as the ceo said they could be contacted on anything but it didn’t resolve anything for the employees that were let down by the company. Some people left jobs for this company because they thought it would be great but we’re let down. Being over worked and under appreciated isn’t the best way to run a business and not being on the same page with everyone. Some people were promised certain pay grades but upon being hired were told otherwise too. The management said it valued transparency but again that wasn’t the case when they gave false promises. Wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. Even someone you disliked. 

There were red flags from the beginning when they over hired by about x5. The training was excruciating with memorization tests and no time to prepare. Opening week was a nightmare. The trainers from other locations thrived on being militant and obnoxious. All the while we are making under minimum wage and not being compensated if there weren't tips, and there wasn't much. 

The best left right away. The other good ones left in the months that followed. Months later and it was still a struggle to make money due to being overstaffed with no business, even after over half the staff quit. 

Fellow employees dealt with hostile, rude communication from floor managers. Confusing side work. No shifts. Literally multiple coworkers weren't scheduled at all unless they begged to be on the schedule, all to make under $100 usually. 

It's a sinking ship. 

In an industry where hours can be challenging, the work can be stressful, and many folks go underacknowledged and underappreciated, this company is an absolute gem. 

I have worked in hospitality for 8 years now, and this is the sort of company I'd stay with for life. Flagship is constantly growing and providing opportunities for employees to grow as well. They have invested in my education and offered me opportunities that are invaluable to say the least. The work environment is healthier than I thought possible in the restaurant industry, which is arguably the most laudable thing. For anyone who is looking to grow their career in hospitality, Flagship will support you and make it happen. 

I really enjoyed working for one of the restaurants that Flagship owned. My time at the restaurant was mostly fun because of the staff and the friends I made. The location I worked in was always busy so that would be challenging on days I just didn't feel like being stressed but I almost always made great money so I can't really complain. They have lots of training programs that allow you to reach a higher level of skilled service which I appreciated. They always opening new concepts and locations and I can use my discounts at all of them which is cool too.

There are few sushi places I have seen where servers reign over the chefs but this is one of them.  I spent the entire summer of 2018 working myself to exhaustion for this company working 60 hr weeks. 

 In the near 2 years i worked there I was only asked by a server once if i wanted something to drink and was constantly dehydrated,  combined with the near constant 100+ degree temp of the sushi bar and the non stop work it became one of the most miserable experiences of my life.  

If you don't mind working hard, this is the company to work for.  They pay the employees a decent living wage.  Their culture is awesome but they need to be a bit more proactive of what they preach.  Mandatory 50 hour work weeks with nights and weekends, but hey it's the restaurant business.  If you want a 9-5 go work for a bank at $12 and hour.

Really slow days there, and they make you work 8-9hour everyday they never want to make cuts. Doubles are 16 hour shifts. Workplace culture was great everyone got along and there was real teamwork. Management liked to play favorites, and if they didn’t like you, you would know and so would everyone else. Real chill laidback vibes 

A company that preaches communication but utilizes zero. Management will ignore you if they feel like it and act surprised when confronted about it. Corporate trainers were terrible and made inappropriate jokes within the first week. Management takes zero accountability and takes frustrations out on employees. Not a great job.

Worked here for 15yrs. Have grown with this Co. Great people, great owner's, great environment. We're growing rapidly, now is the time to come aboard.

I love how this company is so flexible with transferring cities or different restaurant concepts. It makes it super great if you plan on moving and need job security. CEOs are amazing and constantly checking in on various concepts. Training is thorough and money is usually always pretty good!
