Pros

Solid discount, free MVP cards (only during non-peak hours usually), free drinks, fun environment

Cons

Inconsistencies with management, closing shifts will be guaranteed to stay later until their department is clear to leave (sometimes even 2 hours after), lack of organization, lack of recognition in most cases (though my center has improved upon this but I know this is a flaw at most)

Team Service is treated like trash

Pros

-Good first job for high school students -Half price menu, and the food is fantastic

Cons

-My department is treated TERRIBLY by everyone. Servers, cooks, dishwashers, even management, negatively looks down on Team Service. We're blamed for any and every possible thing that goes wrong. Even if it's a server's direct mistake, it's still Team Service's fault for not catching it and WE get disciplined. -Constantly understaffed -Underpaid -Overworked -Management doesn't know what they're doing either

We appreciate your review and are extremely disappointed to read that your team is made to feel this way. We encourage all employees to discuss their concerns with their managers and if they feel as though they cannot go to their manager we highly suggest team members reach out to HR at the Support Center if they need a bigger voice behind them. We also have an employee hotline that should be used to anonymously report issues. This comment has been sent to HR for our Field HR to look into.
