Outback Steakhouse

Is this your company?

Senior Management was always negative about employee efforts and contributed very little to the company's success. - Server Outback Steakhouse Employee Review

Pros

Management could be understanding about taking time off if you found someone to switch shifts with you. The employees are tight-knit and it's fun to interact with the "regulars" who come in frequently. the location gets busy before and after college gameday, so there are definitely opportunities to make money.

Cons

If you needed time off because of a medical issue, they really would try to talk to you out of it. Ultimately, management would exert very little effort and give harsh criticism without inquiring about the situation at hand. No effort was recognized and thus, the company culture was somewhat lacking.

Pros

I made amazing money there for 2 years.

Cons

They reduced sections to 3 or 4 tables. I had run shifts that I had 10 tables and my boss told me "I know u can do it." Friday nights went from $200-$250 nights to less than $100. I made $150 on average serving at a pizza diner 26 years ago. Corporate decided servers weren't their bread and butter. I switched jobs in town and daily they remember me from Outback. It's a shame really. I went to Outback this week and it was DEAD. 3 tables during the dinner rush. The new CEO played it wrong. I'll be surprised if they even exist in 5 years.
