Kind Hospitality, Inc.

It was a decent job that paid the bills, but that's really about it, and I honestly stayed as long as I did only because I really enjoyed the coworkers and one of my supervisors (she was like the glue that kept us all wanting to come back). The pay was standard, it was usually fairly busy which made the time go by quick, but after my restaurant converted into Panera (and with new management) it became too hectic with all of the new protocols and everyone quitting left and right. There were no benefits aside from a health insurance plan you could sign up for, also we only got one break every shift and it was your choice of a 10 minute paid break or a 30 minute unpaid break (you could not stay 30 minutes after your shift to make it up either).

I was working here for less than 2 months when my family member was entered into a hospice facility. My managers gave me time off to be with her for those 3 days and called to check on me periodically. They also encouraged me to go back to school and welcomed me back when I was ready to work. If people speak up and make a suggestion, then it seems to be worked on pretty well. They even have team members from each restaurant call in to speak about the restaurants and different team members who talk about new promotional items for Macayo's 

When I started that job, I loved it. The work was simple, the brass were kind and made an effort to show me the ropes. Don’t be fooled though, as caring as the managers often were, Kind itself was callous. About 3 months in, our ice machine broke and we were promised multiple times over that we would get a new one by February. I quit in May and the ice machine still wasn’t fixed. I know it sounds petty, but that’s just the most obvious example I could find. Kind’s a joke. Loved most of my coworkers and managers, but the bureaucracy was soul crushing.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The kindest company I’ve had the opportunity to work for. I wouldn’t trade my cherished time at Kind for anything!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Time sensitive payroll deadlines can be stressful, but the inherent challenges in this provide many opportunities to personally improve time management skills along with the ability to prioritize and multi-task.

There is nothing constructive about this company, do yourself a favor and never ever apply for any jobs they have to offer, no matter how desperate you may be be, you end up working for penny's on the dollar for a company who only care about the higher ups and nothing about who got them where they are now. Very unhappy place to work, they don’t care about the customer, who are the reason for the service.

They claim that you will have a flexible schedule but are totally unwilling to work with you if you need days off, or if you’d like to change your schedule but will turn around give somebody the schedule you wanted. They don’t take supervisor/manager complaints seriously. They expect you to carry the job of 4 people and not complain about it. They offer no help. Management is lazy and rude. They have favorites and aren’t afraid to hide it. 

As first jobs go, there are far worse. My managers are very understanding and helped me to be self-sufficient in my role and trained me in a multitude of tasks should I need to fill in for someone.

Working for kind hospitality was one of those jobs that makes you strive for more. everyday that you walk into work is a fresh new feeling of ok lets get down to business while still having fun with your fellow work associates. It is deffinently a job I would consider to be one of the best and would recommend it to anyone.

The job was okay depending on who is on shift. Other than that it was your typical poorly managed fast food restaurant. The rules were always changing, there was always unprofessional drama between management and the other staff, as well as always being completely under or over staffed. It was a job I was there for a check but I wouldn’t recommend.

Working alone was the best part because no one is there to tell you, you're doing something wrong when no one gave you the information on how to do it right. The schedule was made weekly and the supervisor in charge of the schedule did a terrible job at getting it out to people who are off on the day that it is posted.
