Goode Company Restaurants

Loved the culture of the company. The pay is okay but not very good for the position.  Upon being hired I was promised growth and advancement but unfortunately that is only true if you work for the company for 10 + years.  There is very little to no growth  with in the company even though you work your butt off to impress the department managers and even preform some of the managerial tasks that an hourly employee should not be doing, such as reprimanding your office team mates.   

The department manager was very sarcastic, passive aggressive, micromanaging and loved to delegate most of the work to the whole office team.  Made it very uncomfortable whenever the manager was in a bad mood. There was a lot of confusion with the office structure, policies and procedures they always changed and depended on the managers mood. It became a very unhappy, monotone and hostile work environment for me. Would have stayed for many more years if the manager was replaced with someone who had more experience and better people skills or got an attitude check.

A typical day at work would be cleaning work area, making sure register is complete, checking for any reservations (parties). I would answer phone calls to take carry-out orders, give directions to the restaurant, cashier customers dining-in, and assisting those who need help. I learned allot about myself, finding out that I enjoy working in customer service, interacting professionally with the customers. I learned how to have patience, and how to stay composed even when situations seem to want to "escalate". Working with my co-workers was also easy going, they were very understanding, work well with one another. In the beginning what seemed to be the hardest part for me was keeping up with the fast-pace environment, but within no time, it all was a breeze. Personally the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing customers smile on their way in feeling welcomed, as well as on their way out feeling satisfied with our customer service.

As far as restaurant jobs go, Goode Company is probably one of the best you can work at. The benefits offered are not bad(401k w/ match, Health, PTO) However the PTO accrual is very slow. Management for the longest time had high turnover rate, however that has changed and we've had the same familiar management for a while now. The clientele is pretty good. I'd say about  half of the people who I've worked with there are good people and are always working together, and then the other half are drug addicted/alcoholic narcissists. Welcome to restaurants I guess. Overall, easy money, not too stressful and server sidework is super easy. Oh and if you need off, as long as you request off at least a few weeks in advance, managers pretty much always have your back. (if not somebody should usually take your shift unless if your in the bar) 

Unorganized organization that does not give you a clear picture of what they want from their management teams other than working your 60+ hour weeks.  The training program was pathetic and minimal at best.  Upper management is very narcissistic and only cares about their "personal" image.  Core values were discussed but NOT followed.  They made hourly employees fill out forms so they would be recognized as "Best Places to Work" by different publications.  They talked a big game and made promises they had ZERO intention of keeping.

It's an overall great place to work but if you're looking to advance in the company this is not the place for you. The money is in the events and caterings. Unless you're close with the managers,  know them personally or they like you; you will stay in the position you've been since you started with no mention or thought of a raise or opportunity to join the catering team. Disorganized, no communication between managers and they will alter your schedule without notice.

There's a lot of favoritism.
I don't want to mention colors but you all know what I mean.
Managers don't care about you.
They smile at you when the training but once on the floor everything changes.
you have to over work doing the favorites job meanwhile they make money and you get the leftovers. The management only wants you there to fill up gaps and when you try to communicate your concerns, they give you very bad attitude.

It's a shame that in this company, which prides itself on having family values, is having that horrible management.

It is a great experience to work in a barbecue restaurant and has taught me a ton like working with other coworkers and having everyones back when needed. Also dealing with customers and talking to them and taking care of a problem and how to handle it the correct way. I have learned to answer phones place bulk orders and learned the concepts and mastered all of my positions that where given to me. Working with in this company has taught me how to work more efficient and do things a way no one else can do them and I'm grateful for that.

they did not like me leaving for lunch and told me not to make a habit of it. they also over work you on dish and bussing by making you do your regular work along with other miscellaneous tasks that make you work load pile up so by the time for your break or when you leave they wont let you because of piled up work 

Overworked, underpaid, under appreciated and just lackluster. I watched so many employees rotate through this establishment. Managed poorly. Very cliqued up. Management hangs out with certain staff. Gaining favoritism and unfortunately a very unprofessional environment. 

I was pretty educated and knew everything and i try very hard to keep customers safe during covid. But they ignore that and pay lazy people more then hard workers. customers expect us to figure everything out for such little pay. management does not help with delegate work schedules it’s always a “ we’ll talk about it later “
