Lack of Management backing
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Akron, OH –
Pros: the food was great and training was really good
Cons: lack of support from upper management
While working at this company it became very clear that tenured employees take precidence over managers.

Several times I had written up tenured employees for policy violations. The General Manager supported the tenured employees over his management staff.

Great people to work with
Server/Corporate Certified Trainer (Former Employee), Portsmouth, OH –
Has great customers service, training could be better organize. Your co-workers are always willing to help, management needs better communication between eachother & employees. But overall a great place to work..

Wonderful and open environment where everyone smiles and gets along.
Server (Current Employee), Waldorf, MD –
Bob Evans, to me, feels like one big family. Everyone comes in smiling, everyone gets along, there are no big problems. I find myself even coming in on days I'm off just to converse. Management is very friendly and unobtrusive, but will help out at the drop of dime if you're ever in trouble. For me, the hardest part of the job is remembering everything, – more...  but I enjoy everything else. – less

Fast paced and fun, social environment
Host (Current Employee), Cuyahoga Falls, OH –
Pros: 50% off meals on break, easy to pick up hours, fun, fast paced, good money
Cons: half hour breaks can be too long, sometimes frustrating when extremely busy
In a typical day at work as a Host, I am responsible for various duties including but not limited to; register, greet/seat, cleaning floors/bathrooms, busing/cleaning tables, and sweeping floors to turn tables. It is fast paced usually so I always get to be busy which I like. I've learned a lot about the different positions of the restaurant through – more...  my position as host. Management is helpful, personable, and helps all around the establishment to ensure things go smoothly. My co-workers are also fun to be around and we are a productive team that have attracted many regulars. The hardest part of the job as host can be trying to cover different positions at once when things get busy and you're the only host on. For example some nights a party of 6-8 may come in and there are a few people heading to the register while you are trying to get some tables cleaned for the large group. Servers don't always do the best job at busing tables promptly which is my only complaint. The most enjoyable part of the job however is just being able to stay busy while making good money as far as a host goes and working with a cool group of co-workers. I would rate the Bob Evans on Howe Avenue in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio a 4.7/5.0. – less

Fun Workplace
Certified Trainer (Former Employee), Elizabethtown, KY –
Pros: half priced food, great people
Cons: the 10% of not so great employees
At Bob Evans I did a little bit of everything. I was in kitchen prep. I was a hostess. I workeed as a server. I was a certified trainer. I learned that anything I put my mind to that as long as I kept saying I could do it that I would be able to advance to another station in Bob Evans. The management was awesome, very supportive, and funny. My co workers, – more...  90% of them were just amazing. I loved coming to work all the time. The hardest part of my job would've been when I worked alone because someone had called in. I can't even say there is only one part of this job that was enjoyable. I honestly loved every bit of it. – less

A bunch of biscuits and gravy.
Carryout Attendant, Waitress, and Hostess (Former Employee), Toledo, OH –
Pros: we got lunch breaks if we were there all day!
Cons: the people who ate there.
You would have to mess up really bad to get fired from here, but it doesn't take much to get hired either.

Friendly place to work.
Waitress (Former Employee), Midland, MI –
Pros: half off all food while workin, 20% while off the clock
Cons: managment wasnt the best
Working at Bob Evans was a fun experience for me. It allowed me to meet new people and work on my customer service skills, multitasking abilities and stay organized. Hours where good and the amount of money you made was up to you and how hard you where willing to work. This was one of my favorite jobs and I would love to go back into waitressing again

Organized environment with a homey atmosphere
Multiple Positions (Former Employee), Aurora, OH –
Pros: organized
Cons: inflexible schedule
The most interesting experience while working at Bob Evans was the transition from paper to computer. When I started, all orders were taken by hand in a complicated, difficult ticket. The abbreviations alone took several weeks to teach new employees. The company switched to a software which allows its workers to enter orders into a computer. This made – more...  the job much more enjoyable. I was working at a test store when the transition took place.

The business was constantly changing. New procedures, menu changes, uniform changes, technology changes. The company had a written solution to most any situation that occurred. The job tasks were laid out very clearly. Workers knew what was expected from them.

The managers always had their employees best interests in mind. – less
