Busy and long days
Hostess/Cashier (Former Employee), Modesto, CA – May 5, 2013
Denny's is a busy business. I was responsible for cashing out guests, serving beverages, maintaining the front area clean, and assisting servers clean tables. Management taught me how to learn the menu so I can orders over the phone quicker. The most enjoyable part of this job meeting new people on a daily basis and being close to home.

Nice working with the public.
Server (Current Employee), Cleveland, OH – May 3, 2013
I learned that being a server is hard work and also it can be rewarding. I liked working with the public. Management was ok. Some were better than others, but all in all they were fair and ok to work with. I enjoyed meeting different people and being able to make them happy or make their day. It is hard to be on your feet all day long without any breaks.

Productive, friendly orientated, and gain alot of people skills
Server/ cook (Current Employee), Lewisville, TX – April 29, 2013
Pros: i love people, and i get to do what i have fun doing at time which is cooking
Cons: not enough hours
A typical day at work basically consist of going in and serving customers food and beverages. I have learned to communicate well with a lot of different people of different race and orrientation. We have some good management there but we also have some bad management there. There is nothing really i could say about them. The hardest part of my job is – more... when an order does not come out the way the customer expected it to be. The most enjoyable part is meeting all the different people i meet on a daily basis – less

Some management allow personnel issues to get out of hand therefor cause added stress when you wouldn't need any as it is!
Waitress/Bartender (Former Employee), Ontario, OR – April 23, 2013
Pros: there is always something you can find to eat.
Cons: mostly never know when you will get a break.
Always busy! Learned how to multi-task very well, a plus. Most management is very profesional but some can let there personnel inmaturity get in the way, to bad nothing will ever be done about it. As if they are the only people that matter and who cares if an employee has a family to raise. Co-workers are great when they stick to the job and do teamwork. – more... There was plenty badmouthing though which was terrible and probably the hardest job of the job was that kind of negativity from co-workers. Especially the one manager! The most enjoyable part of the job were the customers! Only once in a while you get that one person that will find a complaint no matter what you do. – less

Why Denny's wasnt a good fit..
Line Cook (Former Employee), Clive, IA – April 22, 2013
I started out working for Denny's after returning to Des Moines, I was hired on as a cook with promises for advancement that never came. We were told we would get vacation pay that never came.. The staff and Manager's were out of control... I started seeking new employment and that's when I was hired on at Chili's..

very fast paced and fun co workers and customers that make you smile.
server (Former Employee), Terrell, TX – April 19, 2013
Pros: friendly customers, tip money every day
Cons: not alot of benifits, short breaks
i loved going to work everyday the staff was wonderful and really made my day go by with a smile. i really didn't have much to learn because i had already gone through all the Denny's training at my other store but i learned that it is different working at a franchise owned Denny's than a corporate owned one. the hardest days were the ones where other – more... employees would call in and no one would come in to cover so it normally meant that the last shifts servers would have to stay. – less
