Tullys Good Times

Great place to gain experience and earn good money without a degree, but a horrible and toxic place to work management and coworker-wise. It constantly feels like you are one wrong move away from being terminated or getting on the bad side of the managers. It feels you’re back in high school with the way that people judge and gossip about you, including the managers. It isn’t uncommon here to hear the managers talking about employees personal lives and their mistakes to their employees and other managers. Honestly, the best way I can summarize this job is by saying it is incredibly unfair in many aspects. There is blatant favoritism with employees, including managers employing their family and friends, and they don’t go by first in first out for getting cut. You can open and you will be cut hours after the people that come in after you. The outs for closers are insane. There is so much extra work and other coworkers will screw you over with cleaning their pick up tables and by not doing their outs. It is not worth it at all, especially for the hours on end you stay after we actually close for no extra perks; not even a free meal. They will constantly schedule you outside of your availability and then get mad at you for not being able to work outside of your hours. It also becomes a problem with the managers when you have to change your availability and hours. Overall, an incredibly toxic place to work but good pay if you’re willing to deal with all of the negatives. 

Got hired by the District Manager from Syracuse.  Did well during training, was liked by all Corporate Managers and owners, I think.  Went to my home store and was treated as a crew member.  Three of the four managers thought what they did was untouchable.  They didn't lead by example. The GM would sit in the office and run shift from his head set. His buddy the AGM was too busy to help others because he was watching the latest games on T.V., or playing Pokemon Go on his phone with crew members.  The other was too busy either smoking or talking about what they did the night before.  The kitchen Manager only one that had a head on his shoulders.  The other three treated the whole staff as they were not able to do their work especially a 20 year veteran that was hired as a new manager.  The GM was vulgar and discriminated the staff with harsh words.  Overall I liked the company it was the three managers that thought that they were sent from God that destroys the Moral of the work environment.  Thanks to them I left the company and managed to get a big increase in pay, and am able to use my knowledge and skills in this company without being subjected to their childish boys locker room behavior.  They also robbed me out of my bonus checks, and traveling pay.

No employee benefits, no holiday pay, no PTO. You have to stand long hours and sometimes you miss your break because they don’t go in order of “first one in goes on break first” they will choose randomly throughout the shift who will go on break and when. It will never be at the same time as before. You might be the first to arrive on shift and the last to go on break. If they get busy during your last hour, they won’t let you leave…you will be bombarded w more work for another hour or two after your shift ends and make you either sweep and mop the entire kitchen or break down and take out garbage and boxes with is a LOT before you leave. They don’t care how late they keep you. You also aren’t allowed to leave unless a manager signs you out so yes, they will keep you however long they want until they decide to sign you out. So now you go over your hours almost everyday but you don’t get paid any overtime for it. Some of the managers are not experienced so they can’t offer any help when it comes to knowing the ins & outs of the recipes. They are hard on their employees because they aren’t capable of lending a hand, they get overwhelmed and leave the line, allowing their employees to take over and run the entire line 

Was a cook for like 2 years or so. Not a single call off, ever, so they took that, and basically used me. Extra work was expected of me, and I was not allowed to be even 1 minute late without somebody (management) getting rude and saying something snarky. But every other single person showed up late and there were absolutely no repercussions... Kinda like, a person who is a closer, and is known for showing up 45 minutes late every. single. shift. and literally taking 1-1.5 hour breaks, with no consequences for those actions, because they so desperately need bodies at the restaurant is something you will HAVE to deal with.  No matter the shift, you will never leave on time. When someone calls off, they will try to guilt you into staying with free tenders, or an appetizer. Everyday someone WILL call off. If you mention anything that is wrong or unfair, you will be ignored. Policies from the owners are so outdated, like, no beards, no tattoos, etc.. Owners show up, walk down the line literally eating food, and pointing out every single thing that is wrong and if it's busy they WILL not hop on line and help.

I only worked there for two days, not including my training. My first day, I was having family drama and my mom was flipping her kid on me because I wouldn’t answer her texts. I finally replied quickly, and was spoken to. I checked my phone another time and was spoken to again. That night, the manager spoke to me and said that if it happened again, I would be terminated or suspended. The next day, I didn’t go on my phone at all. I was supposed to work a 10 hour shift, but 8 hours in, they called me into the office and told me they were firing me for the day prior. That day, I only got a 30 minute break, and no other breaks whatsoever. Not to mention, this break was 2 hours into my shift. It’s been more than a month since this happened, and I haven’t even gotten my paycheck. I tried to call them but they told me to call corporate, and corporate won’t answer. It’s a horrible company and I don’t recommend any one works there.

It's as simple as this, there's 4 managers, 2 of them have a big ego, if you don't fit their agenda or make some impression you'll get fired for the smallest thing. You get sick, they'll fire you. The training is backwards where after they teach you, then they'll still handicap you. The really only redeeming quality about this place is the workers are nice, understanding and chill. And the other 2 managers actually care and are understanding, unfortunately they're not the top. So would I work here, no, not at all. It's a stressful, high paced, no break job. You get one 45 minute and a 5 and that's it, the rest of the time it's clean clean clean for 5-7 hours straight. And you're expected to keep going. There's also times where you're by yourself and you have to do everything by yourself. I'd stay clear of this one. 

Working at Tully's has truly taught me so much since I became employed there. I have learned how to multitask and work at a fast pace without disrupting excellence. My coworkers and management staff have become my second family and I have grown such close bonds to so many of them. The hardest part of my job is when the store gets busy and we all have to work together at a fast pace to make sure we are all providing the best service that we possibly can for our guest. However the craziness all becomes worth it when I realize that I’m doing what I love with the people that I love. Knowing that I am pleasing people by caring for them as a sever is really such a rewarding feeling. Knowing that I could be the reason that our guest smile and laugh and have a great time is is a very rewarding outcome.

Awesome place for a drink on a Friday night but I would recommend other companies to work for. Very micromanaged and management uses negative reinforcement. A workplace where you feel on edge all the time and management is always installing fear of losing employment at meetings and during shifts. Management is usually miserable and it seems they are all trained to be this way from the top down. Employees are great and money was nice on weekends. Management has zero regards for your personal wellbeing "suck it up or get out" attitudes with huge turn over rates and false marketing starting wages. you know "based off experience lingo". As a psychology graduate, there is a lot of red flags here.

A typical of work at Tullys consisted of doing daily audits,supervising the daily operations of both front and back of the house which included but was not limited to insuring food quality and portioning,maintaining a safe work environment as per Serve safe guidelines.making daily bank deposits.Hiring,training and employee development.Maintaining a high level of front of the house service as per company guidelines as well as personalized customer interaction.
At Tullys I learned about daily,weekly and monthly P&L statements and the importance of food/labor cost.

Flexible hours or set schedule, they'll work with you. Good customer base with a large regular crowd. Potential to make great money. Management team is split- some are on hand ready to be a leader, motivate and make it a great place while the others are completely checked out, a complete waste of company resources. Employees are split aswell- ones that literally refuse to do their work and still have jobs and the ones that get to pick up the slack of others. The pay is unfair. The lack of accountability is disgraceful. The communication is a joke.
