Red Lobster Employer Reviews

well i dint work here for vey long but when i did i enjoyed all of my co-workers and management and it was easy going but hard at times. loved it

one of my first jobs so it was very educational and got to learn a whole lot of good skills and i was also working with a friend so it made it even better

Pretty much make sure the guest are as happy coming in as they are coming out of the restaurant.

Red Lobster is a fast paced, customer friendly business. I have learned that there is always room for improvement and always do the greater good even when it goes unnoticed.

The tips were good, I made enough to support a family of five off of what I made working at Red Lobster. Since they open at 11 am It makes it a good place to work if you're going to school but don't expect them to make any considerations for your schedule, you will need to work it out with your coworkers if something comes up. It's a restaurant job – more... so, high stress, high volume but the money waiting tables is pretty good. – less

When joining red lobster I was promised the world. High bonuses, 45 hour work weeks and a choice as to whether or not I wanted to transfer. Once I started the work weeks consistently ran 60 hours a week, the bonuses were never higher than 300 dollars, and I was mandated to transfer to a location an hour away from my home.

Red lobster ws a place that truly helped me grow as a person. It helped me get through collage with the flexiable hours.

I have always enjoyed working for Red Lobster but the balance between personal life and work was difficult to maintain. The scheduling demands made it difficult to spend quality time with loved one.

I hated the managers. Poorly run was a sweet shop. I enjoyed getting every weekend off unless it was overtime

It was a very busy atmosphere on almost every day and a lot of my job was taking care of guests and assisting other servers and co-workers. I learned a lot about customer service and hospitality. The management team made the job fun and were very helpful with any problems that came about. Co-workers were great and were very good with teamwork. The hardest – more... part of the job is on occasion having something go wrong and having a guest complaint, as well as receiving sub par tips. The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that I provided my guests with a good dining experience and them reassuring me of that. – less

For me a typical day at work is I get on shift, I see what tables are open and what servers are on, I then proceed to make a list of tables that I can go to. When it's not busy I clean the doors and the windows in the lobby.

I have learned that to be successful in the resturaunt business you have to be happy and know what the guests like.

The management – more... makes work fun. I want to go to work because I know that I will have a good time, and the guests can tell that we want to be there. We all genuinely have a good time, and everybody can tell that.

My co-workers are nice and they have taught me how to handle different situations with the resturaunt and with guests.

The hardest part of my job would be when it gets busy and we don't have any tables and guests get frustrated, because they didn't anticipate there to be a wait. Also guessing how long the wait will be.

The most enjoyable part of my job would be watching guests leave happy and they don't have any complaints. – less

Excellent training, Fantastic benefits and savings of all kinds. Good place to work with professionalism. Good hours shared out fairly among all the employees. Sanitary with all the neccessary equipment to get the job done. I loved the great workplace and meeting the interesting clientel

I love the guests who came in Red Lobster, It's a Company that believe in No I in Team. Very busy workplace on any night of the week. Love the Food and DIscounts to Employees.

The food is good, the management is terrible. Lots of repetitive jobs to do!

~ Interacting with customers, getting them exactly what they want, side jobs, teamwork, preparation for the next shift.
~ Co-workers and management are wonderful!

Do what is told, get paid and then go home. Best worse experience I have had in a job as a teenager. Wouldn't trade the experience for the world.

Depending on my job description or the day, a typical day includes meeting the guests needs and providing efficient service. Through my employment with Red Lobster the last 5 years I have learned excellent communication skills as well as the importance of teamwork within a high-paced environment. Being a server has also taught me how to effectively – more... multi-task and that attitude is everything. I have been honored to have a hard working staff of 4 managers who make the job more enjoyable as well as great co-workers. – less

The management is always very helpful. The staff is very caring, and the food is always very appetizing. I have learned much about seafood, hospitality, bar-tending, and culinary prep. The tips are above average. Depending on how well you take care of each guest. We have people from all over the country who visit us at Red Lobster

On a typical day I'm assigned my tables and began accepting customers. I'm expected to get them in and fed in enough time to keep them satisfied. What I learned was the more interactive you are with your customers the less critical they tend to be. Management was strict, and good was never good enough. My co-workers were college students and arround – more... my age. The hardest part of the job was sharing a party size table. The most enjoyable part of the job was Saturday morning meetings were we were trained and treated to breakfast. – less

Cleaning all dish while maintaing a clean environment and greeting customers among arrival.
