Milos Hamburgers

It can be disheartening when upper management does not show appreciation for their employees. Feeling undervalued or unappreciated can have a negative impact on motivation and job satisfaction. Here are a few suggestions for dealing with this situation:

1. Communicate your feelings: If you feel comfortable doing so, consider having an open and honest conversation with your manager or someone in a higher position. Share your concerns about the lack of appreciation and explain how it affects your motivation and overall job satisfaction. They may not be aware of the impact their behavior has on employees.

2. Focus on self-appreciation: While it's important to feel valued by your superiors, it's also crucial to recognize and appreciate your own efforts and achievements. Take pride in your work and celebrate your successes. Remember that your worth and contribution extend beyond the recognition of others.

3. Seek support from colleagues: Talk to your co-workers and see if they share similar concerns. Discussing the issue with others can provide validation and support, and you may even come up with collective strategies to address the situation.

4. Look for opportunities elsewhere: If the lack of appreciation persists and significantly affects your job satisfaction, you may consider exploring other job opportunities where your efforts are recognized and valued. Keep an eye out for organizations with a positive work culture that appreciates and supports their employees.

Remember that it's essential to prioritize your own well-being and job satisfaction. While it can be challenging to work in an environment where appreciation is lacking, exploring these strategies can help you navigate the situation more effectively.

You would be hard pressed to find a comparable concept that pays as much as they do. But there is definitely a reason for that. In my time there, two GMs quit without notice (at that point I had been with the company for barely a month) and I was left to run the restaurant with limited assistance because, the only help I had came from the area manager who also had other locations to run. Lucky, it was the kind of job a trained monkey could do. But, I soon found out why this location in particular could never retain a staff. It all came down to the other assistant manager at that location. All this “manager” did was sit in the office and bark orders at the team. And if something was said to her about is she would claim to be doing “paperwork.” This was of course not true because she didn’t know how to do any office work. It was the type of situation where whenever she came in the door you could feel the entire mood change. I could go on about this but I’ll spare you. The main problem was that upper management would not do anything about it. That being said, that wasn’t the reason I left. I left because I ultimately come from a full service background and I felt my skills were wasted here. I found a career path that suited my skills and background. I wish everyone I worked with well. I loved my staff and hope they eventually find the management them they deserve to have.

They would rather gossip sit in the office knowing that there’s a lot to do and laugh at the people who are working hard and give the ones who are on there phone or not even doing there job the special treatment pushing all the responsibilities on the people who do work hard  and give the hard workers a hard time if you work on the fry station they expect you to do the chicken station as well 2 jobs for one person they will overwork you and won’t help out at all if you try to say something they make excuses but tell you not to make excuses just complain why there out of food when you trying your hardest to follow procedure and policy everything at milos is supposed to always be made fresh but the managers act like your not working hard enough when these managers can’t even bag the food properly always messing up orders and calling out for extra food and slowly down the speed of service they expect crew to train them when none of the crew has been promoted to a trainer or team leader the management from the area Director down to the shift leaders can’t even get on the same page with certain things tyey always over order on the trucks and leaving no room for extra product they show favoritism towards eachother so don’t go hoping for promotions you won’t get one 

So I started Milos thinking it was going to be a decent place to work because they were friendly and easy to interview with. I go in my first day and right off the bat I noticed there was no friendliness or team work attitude in any of my co workers. Not a hi not anything helpful nothing. Then they put me on a completely different job than the one I applied for one I didn’t have experience at after asking me multiple times what I position I wanted. So they put me to work with no training I’m by myself I’m confused and very stressed out. The co workers were not helpful and would barely respond to my questions if they even did at all. One co worker completely walked away from me when I asked a question. Work is going at 90 miles per hour and I could not keep up and try to teach myself and the same time. Management is very poor. They have no sense of team work and I found my experience to be very unprofessional. Needless to say that was the first and last day for me. Definitely one of the worst places I’ve ever worked at.

I often worked overtime a lot but was always compensated well for OT and travel to other locations. I greatly enjoyed assisting with the grand opening and training of two stores. The work is fast paced, but good employees can make for a decent and fun shift. The upper management was cordial and caring, and never gave me a hard time about needing time off for medical reasons. Requesting time off was simple and nearly always approved - if it could not be approved, they did their best to make it happen on another date. The worst part it was the work ethic of some of our associates and how much they could get away with in terms of call-outs, but we typically had enough employees to cover positions and management was always working one of them. I overall enjoyed my time with the company and would love to engage with them again in the future.

Work was always fun for the most part, but at the end of the day it was still work. I learned a few new things working there like how to count back, and a friendly reminder of smoothly things run when you work as a team. The management team was pretty good over all but we all have our flaws and so did they. Loved my co-workers they are probably the reason I stayed as long as I have, they are all awesome individuals who help the company run smoothly. The hardest part of the job was probably coming back from break just joking, but the job wasn't really hard work. Now the most enjoyable part of the job i would have to say is interacting with the customers and just getting to know new people every day.

Nothing, don’t get sick, they will call you a liar then terminate you 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being terminated for something you had no control over 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awful , they will be little you, they will not have your back, you will not get the support you need from upper management 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being put down, told that they will handle a situation, then put you in a meeting and asked why you didn’t handle that situation, never expect to get promoted to a higher chain, they only hire their friends.

When I interviewed with Milos it was a group interview. It was with an area supervisor and I don’t know the other guys position. They promised everything in the world and made the company seem like a fairy tell. Long story short it was a bunch of lies. Managers were poor. No guidance from anyone in corporate office. Review process is very out dated and the guy who does them favors other locations. Just not a fair company in general. Liked the job at first but started to see the true colors of “higher ups”. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to work for this company.  

Milo's was a wonderful company in the beginning. They offered raises often, crew members got quarterly bonuses for being on time and in uniform, and it was a well-rounded company where you could build relationships and work ethics from the ground up. Now this company is greedy. The upper management holds grudges, animosity, and resentment towards specific employees or entire stores. Their mission is the LSE, "little something extra," but if you want your team and business to flourish, that LSE needs to start from within. It's important to lift the people you're paying up, and give them incentives to do good and BE good.
