Boston Pizza Employer Reviews

This restaurant had terrible training techniques and a rude management team.

Employment with Boston Pizza was both fun and productive. I learned many new skills and felt as though I was part of a large team, and further a family which cared about me and my success. Management took great care about the advancement of our skills and personal growth. Co-workers were fantastic and grew into close friends.

- Typical day at work consisted of cleaning, making the bills, portioning foods like fries and chicken fingers, restock and find other work to do.
- I learned social skills as well as cooking skill working at Boston pizza.
- The management is great, appreciative and treats all their employee's with value and respect.
- My co-workers are fun to be around – more... helpful people. The majority of the kitchen staff are from the Philippines, i have developed an ear for their accent.
- The hardest part of the job would be being overwhelmed with orders while being under staffed. This could be very stressful on everyone and a longer clean up time after the rush.
- The most enjoyable part of the jobs is coming to work and everyone is friends, singing along to music while we get our job done. – less

I really enjoyed this position. I had the oppurtunity to create exciting events, parties, and reservations. The overall team I helped change,and recreate was amazing. From when I walked in as a new manager within the Resturant Bar industry, I knew I had a challenge ahead. I Left feeling positive about what I assisted in making. A new more fully functional – more... Boston. – less

Boston Pizza is one of the most efficently run jobs i have ever worked at. The Down fall to this job was the Customer base that came through. Most of the customers are very demanding and very rude. We would have violent out breaks during the weekends from intoxicated people. I have learned how to serve drinks and meals under the pressure of a very busy – more... night. My co-workers, all of them are angels. I was the only male, so i was kind of like Charlie. The people i worked with were the best part of my job. – less

prep cooked for most of the day, than moved on the grill, most enjoyable part was fun working enviroment.

An enjoyable work place. Co-workers fun & helpful to be around.

Fun and upbeat place to work. All employees are very helpful with one another and its just a very fun working environment.

The average day consisted of begin assigned to a cooking station and making sure all order's were prepared in a timely safe manner.
I learned advanced time management and multi-tasking skills.
The manergers were so nice and very understanding on many levels.
Hardest part of this job was leaving all the staff when I found another job.
The best part of – more... this job was the people I worked with! – less

i loved being in control of how the resurtant was seated and the fast paced environment

START MY DAY IN THE MORNING DOING PIZZA DOUGH AND BURGERS AND PREPARING FOOD FOR SHORT ORDERS. WHAT I LEARNED HERE IS DOING IT RIGHT AND MUST EXCEED ON GUEST EXPECTATION. ABOUT MANAGEMENT THEY ARE HELPFULL AND APPROACHABLE IN TIMES OF PROBLEMS. MY CO WORKERS ARE HELPFUL. THE HARDEST PART IS WHEN WE ARE BUSY AND WE HAVE TO FINISHED THE FOOD AND SERVE – more... IN A MAXIMUM OF 15 TO 17 MINUTES .THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB IS WHEN THE BUSY HOUR IS FINISHED BE WE HACE TO CLEAN AND REFILL OUR STATIONS AND WERE AT EAST NOW FOR THE RUSH HOUR IS DONE. – less

Worked really hard to be told I was not doing enough, by people who were doing nothing.

As an employee I learned how to deal with high pressure situations while maintaining excellent customer service.

A typical day at Boston Pizza will be mostly doing prep work in the morning and then at night will be mostly making food. Its not an easy job to learn. Lots of things to remember and management can only be so forgiving since the food there is very expensive. Hardest part of the job is trying to wrap your head around how the bill system works. Most enjoyable – more... part is they encourage to have fun at work. – less

great place to work. Fast paced environment, hard working staff and excellent atmosphere.

The kitchen was fun and it was fast paced, but not absolutely overwhelming. My co-worker friends were wonderful, but it is a very malicious and dramatic place to work, rumours and gossip. The GM and owner are very selfish. For Christmas we got bar glasses from the storage room and $25 gift cards for...Boston Pizza. So he knows the money will come back – more... to him. When he needs to hire more workers he cuts the hours of his current employees so that he can break even. The GM does not care about trying to help the front staff get the time off they need. There is no moving up or position changes. When people ask to become a server instead, the GM will say they don't need anyone currently but will let you know, then 4 days later there are new servers at the front. They tell you in the interview that you "move up." this isn't true. You keep the same position and wage for 7years. You have to ask for a raise that you deserve 3 and 4 times before you get it. Health benefits are there but not enough, it has to be backed up with blue cross. – less

All food that BPs uses comes in bags to save costs, bagged, pre-cooked eggs is the worst thing I had every seen in 15 yrs of resturant work. Toast that comes in boxes, pre-buttered... Thats not food and the people the work there need no cooking experience because they don't have to cook anything. Managment is the worst, because the work long hours for – more... very poor money. 60+ hr work weeks, every week, $45 - $50,000/yr... please,
The only thing I learned about working at BPs was to never eat there, and get out of the resturant industry as fast as I could. It's been almost 7yrs since I worked for a BPs and leaving was the best thing I every could have done. Since then I made over double in one yr then I did at a BPs. cleaner over $80,000. – less

management took advantage of employees, had outrageous requests from customers that servers shouldnt have pout through to kitchen

pleasant workplace,but limited in terms of salary , advancement and benefits
