    TGI Fridays Chef, October 2023

  • Best thing

    The people I work with.

    Worst thing

    Everything. No breaks or 5 minute breaks for over 10-12 hour shifts. The managers have no respect for you. They do not care if you have worked over 9 hours with no break, especially if it’s busy. If you are sick at work they do not care and refuse to send you home.

  • Best thing

    Some of the team where decent

    Very two faced staff, managers were difficult to work with and being put on shifts last minute and being expected to work it or get cover, which was also very hard to find.

    Great team even if you had a busy shift you’d always have a laugh and just a good time in general. You’re treated great and the pay is great.

    I’ve made great friends and I’ve learned a lot of different skills as a bartender here which are really cool

    Worst thing

    You don’t get a break for working 6 hours you have to work 8 hours +. There’s no stability from management I’ve had 3 new general managers in the space of 8 months and one of the restaurant managers quit because he was too stressed to deal with all the responsibility’s because of no GM
