Maggiano's Little Italy
unhealthy environment
Banquet Manager (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – 11 April 2018
Did not enjoy my tenure at this Restaurant.
The job required I was underpaid for, and the hours were not competitive nor were they conducive to maintain a living condition..
And with the high priced meals and events, they shouldve been able to pay my position according to their company standard

Really Excellent Company
Waitstaff (Current Employee) – Naperville, IL – 10 April 2018
Excellent benefits, which are pretty much unheard of in the industry for non-management. Everyone has been with the company for extended periods of time - like 10-15 years. Really good senior management and training.
Pros
Benefits for non-management, Good management, Great Training
Cons
High expectations and fast paced, You'll make great money but you won't be standing around.
Productive, positive,sometimes fun

The overall staff and management was the best. It was very hard getting hours though. They do not notice hard work so you have to ask for your way around things.
Pros
fun, food
Cons
not enough hours
It was a party
Banquet Server/Bartender (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA 90036 – 13 March 2018
This was a banquet hall, so there was always a function going on. Having done food and beverage all my life off and on I was good at it and enjoyed the staff I worked with.
Pros
Free food and cookies etc.
Cons
Very hard work, very physical when setting up and when taking down the party room

Dishwasher (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – 10 March 2018
My responsibilities were to wash all dishes and pans, take out and compact trash, and pretty much clean the kitchen and back loading area. The work was very fast-paced and labor intensive. I did my best everyday but I didn't feel like my co-workers were doing the same. Other than the intensity and tediousness of the job, it was a fun experience. The management really goes out of their way to help us out.
Pros
Feed you at lunch
Cons
1 Break for an 8+ hour shift
Server/Bartender Review

It is a great place to work. Fun atmosphere and outgoing team. Everyone is willing to help. Management is pretty good and easy to find when in need. The restaurant stays consistently busy since it is right next to Kenwood shopping mall.
Pros
Strong teamwork, managers are usually willing to help and 50% off food.
Cons
The same cons of most typical restaurants.
Awesome company!

Sometimes unorganized
Overall
Dishwasher (Crew Member) (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – 28 February 2018
The management is a joke. They continuously would switch my schedule around to benefit them. They would also play with my pay rate continuously telling me I would receive my raise but would receive it weeks to months later. The jobs a joke!
fun professional workplace
SERVER (Former Employee) – Beachwood, OH – 27 February 2018
I get to work at about 9am make coffee and tea
set tables make sure the floor clean meal prep roll silverware fold napkins when people come in start sating and taken orders reading the menu selling wine
i learned how to make drinks decorate for differant events
i learned how to make differant foods
the management team was really cool and understanding they made it comfortable to work there
the hardest part was after a party or banquet breaking down tables rooling them out or if we have to bring about 10 tables in and put them together
the best part about my job was making people happy meeting new people decorating the room to look so amazing for parties

server (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – 27 February 2018
Working at Maggiao's really taught me a lot about attitude and the way you need to carry yourself as a business guy and really be productive at work and go the extra mile to really get paid what you deserve.
Pros
tips, putting smiles on customers
Cons
sidework, and checkout
we make friends for life

thanks, this was the best learning experience .. very good team .. management it's incredible, the training its amazing.. if this is your first job... you'll be an expert in a little time
Solid serving job with high earning potential, but inconsistent money.
Waiter (Current Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – 21 February 2018
High volume restaurant with large parties and family style dining. Fast paced work environment. Good serving job except they cater too much to guests even when they are obviously taking advantage of the restaurant and its employees. Managers didn't back us up enough.
Pros
Good food, Free food some times, managers are nice
Cons
Long weekend hours, no holidays off
