The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill

This is a typical fast casual dining place and, typically, it is only busy at lunch and dinner time. The rest of the day is spent cleaning, prepping or standing around, therefore an easy but boring and sometimes demeaning job (if you are the one stuck cleaning rest rooms or cleaning up after your colleagues that simply stand around). Front of house positions are best for students looking for minimal summer work or nominal part-time work or those that are looking for a little bit of money.  That is, you could work 5 hours one week, 10-15 the next &/or zero the next.  One never knows.    Never enough hours & management is pleasant but disorganized and a bit aloof.  Sends the week's work schedule out 12-24 hours before the work week begins.  Impossible to plan with that level of disrespect for your staff's time. Hardest part of job is when it's busy and you are managing, in-person orders, 3rd party, online and telephone orders plus serving the food to customers in house and bussing the tables (the franchise does not allow trash bins in the restaurant for some reason which creates confusion for the customers.)  That happens, maybe, an hour or 2 on the daily.  Otherwise fairly easy job if you don't mind the side work.  Fair warning, they say cashier, but they don't make it clear that you'll be doing lots of wait staff and janitorial work. There are pooled tips for the entire staff which is a very nice, if clientele leaves any.  Make sure to ask the owner every week or you might not receive.  Its an okay place but glad I found something with more hours

My job entailed working cash register, greeting guests, taking orders, working expo, cleaning tables, and other menial tasks. Best part of the job were my coworkers, aside from that, everything else was lackluster. Hours were cut short frequently, management showed up hours after open, management didn’t know how to do even my job effectively (let alone their own jobs), and people would be taken off the schedule without notice. This was among many other internal issues. Basically, the higher ups gave themselves a lot of responsibilities but rarely ever followed through.

I started working here when they first opened the restaurant. It was going great for several months. Worked with amazing people. Until the GM left, things started to change and not for the good. They let go a bunch of hard working people on November just before the Holidays. Flexibility on hours was great. Con’s were that they would send you home early which would result in only working 2-4 hours the most a day. The new manager plays favoritism with their sister which is unprofessional. Working here was great until new management took over.

As my first job that I lasted 7 months at, they helped train me accordingly to perform all Front of House functions. The management was helpful and understanding, pay was good for the type of work (its really easy), and coworkers were mostly good. My issues arise mainly when it comes with dealing with customers, buy hey that's all service jobs. The only coworkers I had problems with were the supervisors/leads who wouldn't last for more than a month yet always thought they were superior for their title. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with your coworkers, everyone who worked with me was kind and just enjoyed working here. You could see that they really enjoyed there job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Whenever it gets busy, it would be busy so you just have to push through the rush, my coworkers always helped when i struggled on a order or if i needed a break.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Taking orders, packing take out orders, talking to customer and answering questions, and busting tables.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is laughably bad, might as well get a job at fast food, even McDonalds pays better to start and is more consistent. 

Nice owner

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
lack of pay, demand for high output, lack of organization and supply chain issues

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice owner, most of the crew is chill. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lack of work due to poor logistics, lack of products,

No matter how hard you work, be prepared to never make raises, and to continue doing all the work while other employees get to watch, go on smoke breaks, take 30 min bathroom breaks, and also you won’t have any lunches/breaks in your entire shift. They work you to the core and just expect more when you do any better. If you get this job, just do the BARE minimum and you will still keep your job because they are desperate. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The customers . certainly not the staff

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The general manager is a jerk and plays favorites.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unfair  and plays favorites . Doesn't consider all sides.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Counting the hours till it's over

overall everyone working with me was nice, however they paid me less than I was told I would be paid, as well as being let go a few days into working there because they didn't like my availability that they were aware of over two weeks prior to my starting there. Management doesn't listen well, and pay starts at minimum wage.
