Was an ideal job to students in college. Was room to promote through the company always and it was always a stress free work environment.

This job will keep you on your toes! If you like working with lots of people this is the place for you.

I really enjoyed working here. Everyone was very nice and their number one priority was there customers which I feel is most important. Everyone worked to geather as a team. There was no drama just work. Everyone dressed in black slacks with a white dress shirt and either a tie or a bow. I would begin my day with clocking in then going into the back – more...  office with my management to count out the till to begin my work day, during my work day i would ring in the food orders for the customers and at the end of my shift would take the till back to management and make sure everything was there that needed to be. I would then clock up for the night and mop floors before I went home. – less

Pay could be a bit more, and the raises are poor.i really enjoyed preparing The foods, and working with my team mates.

-Lack of training.
-Lack of hours.
-Lack of communication.
-Lack of management.

They take advantage of the dishwashers, I know cause i was a dishwasher. Constantly on your case about every little thing. Make it seem like you can never do anything right.

OCB was a fun workplace. I was required to keep busy, constantly moving from buffet bar--to buffet bar, but I liked it, I went at my own pace and was allowed to do my work with out the need of constant supervision. I worked in many areas of the restaurant, front and back. It was enjoyable and many of the managers that past through, while I was working – more...  there, were pleasant to work with, overall. – less

Typical work day is 24 hours, If you are scheduled off and then your ask to come to work you must drop any and all personal plans, If you don't then you will be "black listed". The company leaders makes decisions that are not well thought out and then want to blame anyone under them as the fall person for why there great idea did not work. The real – more...  reason is that it was just a bad idea. The work environment is very stressful and set to be counterproductive. The number one goal is to make more money and if that means mistreating employee's, and cutting corners with food and service then that is what they will do. They do not care about the consequences of their actions, unless it is illegal and they might get caught. Moral decisions are non-existence, unless it saves them money. You will be churned and burned. – less

I learned a lot of things at HomeTown Buffet, i learned how to help guests,how to treat guests, and how to work with amazing co-workers. I love hard work,maybe it was hard to handle but for me it wasn't is was fun,i got the chance to meet amazing guests,also let let people see how hard worker I'm i and i get it a lot, guests love who i am and i'm very – more...  proud to serve them again. – less

I really liked working for Buffets Inc. The people I worked with were fun and the customers also made it a fun place to work, like an extended family.

Days are very diverse in terms in customers; there are daily individuals, weekly families, seasonal teams and fresh faces. Food options have a wide veriaty compared to traditional resturants as does its beverage selection. Management and co-workers are close in a 'small town' like setting, and most interact outside of the job. Hardest part of the job – more...  is working holidays, maily mother's day and thanksgiving, these two days are guaranteed to be overwhelming. – less

its just like any restaurant alot of people not many hours not much room for advancement

Was a nice quiet restaurant to bring your family to and to come by yourself.

I was offered a promotion to take over a location where I found a complete restaurant disaster. Pests,rodents,theft,no food safety what so ever. There was no help given from corporate when asked and was told to fix it or I can be easily replaced since the economy was bad! This company has no operations manuals, no accountability, no comradery, and no – more...  future. – less

it was fun but then again i was the ypungest one there and the area over there is not safe. but they closed down.

It was a friendly work environment that paid well, and depending on work performance, offered promotions and job security.

It was a great experience working at the buffet. Unfortunately, the buffet closed down after I have been working there four months. I enjoyed it very much and working with my co-workers. I loved working in restaurants and I want to continue with the experince. I am currently a senior and egraduat this year. I plan on going to college and look for a – more...  job as well. I am very independent and a hard worker. I am bilingual as well. I am looking for an opened job opportunity. – less

A typical day at HTB would be replacing food all day, burning my hands on hot pans and being told im not moving fast enough, but the people i worked with made it ok

Buffets may not be the flashiest company but the people are productive and fun to work with. Great work/life balance and very respectful of people's priorities. If you put in the work, people will go out of their way to ensure you succeed.
