LITTLE DARLINGS

I worked at little darlings for a few months. The management was super cool for a while, then they started hiring a bunch of ugly waitresses and started firing everyone. The rules got super strict. They changed uniforms twice in a few months. I made decent money, definitely not $300+ every single night. But some nights I did hit around $300. Usually when we had features come. When features come, you have to stay back an extra hour to work. Just know you’ll be cleaning a lot! Waitresses do 80% of the cleaning at LD. You get free fountain drinks but you can only drink them on your breaks. You get 2 10 minute breaks on your 6 hour shift. You also get written up for tiny, stupid things.. the shifts are daytime 6pm-12am, 9-3, 10-4, 11-6am.. So just keep in mind you’ll be working pretty much all night. You have a lot of multitasking with this job! Between selling drinks, sweeping, cleaning, stocking, making popcorn, etc.. also, the bartenders take like 20 mins to even get the drinks out because of their rotation. If you’re an entertainer, the $1000+ a night is not true at all.... Ive had girls tell me they didn’t make enough to cover the $100 rent. Then I’ve had girls say they profited $150 or even $4000 that night... you have a house mom that helps everyone out. Don’t get on their bad side. They said the top girls make $2k a night, other’s only make like $300-500 a night. Waitresses really would be lucky to make $50-120 a night + minimum wage ($8.25). But you have to claim your tips at the end of the night and it gets deducted from your paycheck. Expect like a $2-300 paycheck every two weeks...It’s honestly your call if you wanna work here, I personally love the environment. The money was okay (only with tips) but it’s a LOT of hard work you do... and you can’t become an entertainer then switch to a waitress.

Working for this company there were long hours,sometimes 12-14 hour shifts depending on what time of year it was (e.i. Mardi Gras, football season) The staff was not screened well and people were hired based on personal preference. Management was unprofessional at times and rules applied based on each manager on duty. Seniority however, did allow us time off and flexibility if needed. The hardest part of the job was dealing with so many different people and their attitudes at one time but it helped me advance because I learned how to multitask as a bartender and handle different situations peacefully. The most enjoyable part was meeting new people and I made a lot of income.

Always hiring because everyone is always quitting. It takes 15-20 min for the bartender to make the drink/ drinks that guests order from you, so ALOT of your time is spent waiting on your drinks (huge con). You do alot of busser work, cleaning, gritty chores. You are told that you will be fired if you dont sell enough drinks so you always feel in danger of losing your job. It feels less like a cocktail waitress job and more like being a janitor, you do way too much busser work. Expect to be treated rudely by the bartenders. Some waitresses dont lift a finger, so 99% of the time, you end up doing all the hard busser work by yourself. No teamwork. Overall not a good long term job.

I loved working at Little Darlings, my managers were great and my coworkers were friendly and welcoming for the most part. I became better acquainted with how to run secure credit card transactions and brushed up on my inventory taking skills. Getting minimum wage plus getting to keep whatever tips I made was lovely. The only downsides to this job were the fact that coworkers would get away with doing bare minimum and having an awful attitude as well as customers would be a little too friendly and there wasn't much that could be done about it. 

This place was very fun and inviting until it had New Management! Since New Management has been there,they have fired a lot of people,got rid of a lot of entertainers and have not replaced them. It used to be a very fun place to work, now it's like walkng on eggshells. The management stands around in suits and ties looking like they are the FBI.They also look like they do not want to be there. 

I am currently employed as a Teacher at Little Darlings Childcare Learning Center in Catonsville . It is such a fun and engaging place to work . The Director and administration team are Amazing and really love the children and very attentive to their needs. I often see our Director interact with the children and parents .I have learned so much and my growth in childcare education is encouraged and supported . I plan to stay right here at Little Darlings and continue strive .

The pay wasn't great.  The turnover was high, both in the regular employees and the management.  Many of the customers were kind of creepy.  But the job included dozens of fully naked women every single shift.  It's nothing to build a career on, but it does give you something to talk about for years to come.  

I feel working there was a challenge once new management came in.  My PayCheck's at the beginig were awesome after management changer I couldn't afford anything because of the way they started taking money from our checks based off every dollar from our tips. Basicly if you mede 10 an hour and that day you made 80 in tips 80 will be taken out of your paycheck. Seemed to still get taken out whether you made tips or not.

Caring, attentive staff to children families and eachother. Celebrating childhood is the most important focus that’s pushed here. Must love to take care of spaces and know that this isn’t a place where you just sit with children all day, but you are getting out of their way as you tend to the environment while helping the children navigate conflict resolution. I love it here <3 

The job of providing and maintaining a continuous party atmosphere became a challenge within the last several years. This is due to the economy and restricting creative control by corporate. Otherwise, the job itself provided necessary sales and promotion experience in a high energy environment. Middle management was very encouraging and helpful to a positive extent.
