Ruby-Slipper-Restaurant-Group

Started as a hostess (for the first time) and had no immediate issues. Once I transferred to becoming a server, I realized the FOH was very flawed in their work ethic. I mentioned these problems to management and they brushed me off time and time again. Unfortunately, I took it upon myself to let my peers know I didn't appreciate their work ethic or attitude, and I was fired. A problem management could easily solve, they instead chose to fire the only person who cared about the appearance and service of the establishment. Food is great, but the kitchen contains hotheads who rush to make orders and serve them out cold or underdone.  Despite this, the kitchen team was really on point with everything else and I couldn't have asked for a better BOH.

Working for corporations that have locations in very low minimum wage states and one or two locations in a high minimum wage state (such as FL) are difficult to operate under as they don't understand the labor constraints. 
Ruby Slipper also boasts that they do days which is supposed to free up employees nights and weekends, however certain GMs in the company expect managers to show up at 5am and stay until 4pm which makes it impossible to "enjoy the evening" with family or have any type of hobby. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Physically demanding if you're BOH. Pay isn't great; however, they gave me an opportunity faster than any other company would.

Physically demanding, early hours

Relaxed, sometimes unstable. It is what you make it

When you aren’t a morning person adjusting can be difficult.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Positive and friendly, no animosity between foh and boh, supportive management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Prep early, have breakfast with the crew, take care of the few early birds, continue prep until lunch rush that lasts until close, clean up and go home.

This company was easily one of the best places I've ever worked. Management really cares about your happiness, career advancement and overall well-being. Coworkers are supportive of one another and this is a great place to learn and grow in the industry.

You make really good money and get a lot of support from management, which makes the workday much better. Staff doesn’t have high turnover, most have been there at least a year. Management listens to you and when you have an issue, they do everything they can to make it right.  

Easy to move up in pay, but is a very self sufficient environment due to high volume. No afternoons or night is a major bonus. Make my hours in 4 days. All managers listen to employees, and everybody seems to get along. Even if people are fake or don’t like each other the work environment always seems laid back

The job itself is great and the management is amazing! The managers are completely understanding and really care about their employees. The money could definitely be better the only time you really make good money is on the weekends. This job by Itself definitely couldn’t pay your bills. 

Worst experience ever. Train wreck operationally! It’s awful over there with NO leadership or control or dependability. Shut it down already! Bad employees and low pay and low volume and low hours and SUPER HIGH WORK LOAD running good employees off. 

Management does not care about people. Only want bodies in spots. Don't care about personal growth. They let people do whatever they want. They could care less about anyone. Management looks out for themselves and the company only
