chit chat diner

The owner is crazy but pretty fair, his wife on the other hand, completely out of touch with a sprinkle of racism mixed in. Interviewing with her was like auditioning to be a slave (makes more sense when she stares at you silently from a distance.) One longtime manager is fair, two are fairly new (turnover rare for managers is uncomfortably high,) the morning and night managers are horrible people, spend far too much  and as entitled to use it as their entertainment. Lazy, incompetent, will screw you over in terms of earned pay (your tips) if they decide they don't like you, temperamental so they probably won't like you unless you go to great effort to kiss up to them, which is more hassle than it's worth, aren't fluent in English, which wouldn't be an issue if they weren't constantly harassing those they didn't like, showing clear favoritism to those they do, and sending badly misspelled, angry and poorly worded messages to the entire staff for their own shortcomings. All that being said, clientele is decent, if you can get into management's good graces, you can make $200+ per 12 hour shift (that's about the standard, asking for shorter shifts will put you in the doghouse.)

Chit Chat diner is a great place to work. The employer genuinely cares for employees' growth, both professionally and personally. They will take their time and sit down with each of their employees and have conversations in human level. 

I felt more at home, more comfortable, more in control and more supported than I ever have before in any job I had. Lola and Gus promote a positive and productive work environment, and are the most supportive owners you can have. 
The work environment is very diverse, they have open door policy and welcome anyone despite their background, culture and race. 
Being an emigrant who had no support, Lola and Gus turned out to be a safe shoulder to lean on. They welcomed me, supported my personal and carrier growth. 
The business provides a very flexible schedule (hours/days) and they are willing to work with you, and provide that excellent work - life balance. 
They are always looking for employees who show dedication and strong work ethic. 
Their ability to support and integrate diverse ideas has significantly contributed to in my success.

Cons: You are not treating as a person more like a number. Don’t ask for any favors, because it will be brought up and throw in your face every chance available. Do not speak about any personal struggle, it will be used against you. There is a sense of a  paranoia in the work environment and the lady owner doesn’t seem to like any of her employees very well, as she talks about them often. Wouldn’t recommend working there for more than a year or two. Unless you’re a server, they make good money. The managers also make good money, but have to put up with a lot of backlash. Holidays are mandatory. 
Pros:  Customers are very well taken care of. Paycheck is always on time. Good job for college students.

My rating should tell you enough about working there. There always is a problem going on, they have like 5 managers but yet the boss still finds it a prouority to come down and yell at the employees in front of customers knowing he has so many managers that are suppose to manager the employees( that there shows lack of trust towards his managers, or capability)

Management fails to communicate to anyone. They and the owners have no respect for people or their personal life. No line between professionalism and personal grudges/judgment exists. The pay is decent and you get a free meal (as long as your shift is over 6 hours) but not nearly enough for everything you're put through.

See above. I trained the wait staff, which is the best in New Jersey:)) I chose not to be the manager for flexibility to serve various hours in the Diner, to continue to oversee areas while making incredible money!

super stressful, they push you to your limits. You cant have family emergencies. They overwork you and they don't appreciate the good work that you do for the company, they only see the bad.There is no respect or love from the managers.They play favoritism.They make you do buss boy work. They don't like to see anyone standing not doing anything or even talking to a coworker.

The owners here run the show and nitpick and judge everything you do. The managers have absolutely no say in anything and are just puppets of the owners. The owners purposefully put on an act and make themselves out to seem very cold to try to intimidate you and will leverage your financial status against you so that you are under their command. 

The owners don’t have any manners or respect for anyone they hire. They speak to employees and managers in condescending and demeaning ways. There are no benefits with taking on any position with this company

Horrible enviroment older servers get the best stations and make more money , manager does not like you , you ger the worse sections , make barelybany money
