Horrible Experience
Cashier (Former Employee), Sacramento Ca – May 15, 2013
Pros: friendly co-workers
Cons: horrible management
I worked as cashier and was fired within four days of being employed. Their excuse was that i was being slow but how am i supposed to learn a register 2 days at on 3 hour shift each day? The management is poor at best and he talked about paying me my paycheck in cash because they didn't want to tell me that my paycheck will come within 48 hours of being – more... terminated. My co-workers were quite enjoyable and made me feel at home but the management was something that would never make me want to work there again. – less

Kitchen Manager (Former Employee), Puyallup, WA – May 7, 2013
Pros: free lunches, helping people with their problems
Cons: going thru 2 bankrupcy's, not being able to make any changes of your own ideas
I have worked for this company for 11 years. I have worked both front of house and back of house. I like the management style that is promoted by the company.I have hired many people that has helped change their lives.We worked as a team and promoted family values. I worked 15 hours for 2 days out of the week, from open to close as the only manager – more... on duty.I did this so the other managers could have a day off. They did the same for me.I had good benefits,401k and medical. – less

Fun and friendly environment
Waitress/Server (Current Employee), Decatur, IL – May 5, 2013
Pros: half off on a meal if you are on break
Cons: if you get a break its as soon as you walk in the door to clock in, and short breaks.
A typical day at work would be, welcoming guest, communicating with the guest, help them with any help they need, get to know the costumers, then busing tables after my customers leave, sweep the floors, and always make sure my areas are clean for the next costumers that come in. The management at Hometown Buffet I rather not discuss, co-workers at – more... Hometown Buffet are respectful, and friendly, they get along well with others. The hardest part of my job at Hometown Buffet I would say is closing time, such as sweeping the floors, making sure all sugars are filled, and put in order, making sure the salt is always on the right, pepper on left, ketchup behind salt, and making sure everything is perfectly clean before you are able to leave. The most enjoyable part of my job at Hometown Buffet is getting to know my costumers, rather is be a conversation about there day, the weather, or even there meal. – less

I learned how to build short bonds with regular customers who came in , i learned to talk to people . My managment at my recen job was the – more... worst expeirience i like to be told im doing something wrong at that point in time not after watching me for a week then yell at me about how im doing it wrong. I loved my co-workers they where all so sweet , i can pretty much get along with anyone . The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to meet so many new people . – less
