It was a fun job with an awesome manager. However compensation is not the best as well as the ability to move up. Most people i knew were there for years and still had not moved at all.

Busy, fast enviornment
Hostess (Former Employee), Monterey, CA – April 3, 2013
A day at work would usually start out slow, then around breakfast time we would get a typical rush. Here our team isn't very team-oriented. Some of our waiters wouldn't follow our flow chart, which threw off the host. With a little fumble at the start we usually work it out halfway through it. Our managers would work with my schedule with school, but – more... one in particular ended up butting heads with one of our host. The other hostess I would work with was always fun to be around because she was just so fun and filled with a ball of energy. The hardest part of the job would be cashing customers out and sitting them when I was the only one up front. The part I enjoyed most was when I cash customers out, I got to know about their day and help them in every way I could. Meeting new people is always my favorite part of that day. – less

a household name
Server/ Unit Aide (Current Employee), Winter Park, FL – March 13, 2013
I enjoy working for Dennys they are accommodating to your personal needs. very flexible hours. constant opportunity for career advancement. I enjoy meeting new people and growing a personal relationship with the customers that come in and dine with the us. I enjoy the fast paced environment. I have the experience of being a Unit Aide which is a part – more... time manager , I take over all management responsibilities when they need me to cover the shifts. I have learned all job positions in the store. The hardest part about my job I would have to say is the physical demand, although its great cardio, it can take a toll on ones body. I have grown a personal relationship with all my co-workers. We all take being one big family to heart. – less
