Darden Restaurants Employer Reviews

Long shifts dealin with high volume casual diners and seemingly endless paperwork. One of the best places to work if you want to truly be an effective Food and Beverage Manager.

I loved the whole presentation from hiring process to being a part of the team. Very knowlegable staff, particular to small details, providing the best dining experience and awesome made from scratch foods. My co workers were young and lively and hard working. The hardest thing was knowing all the ingredients in all the dishes and the right garnish. – more...  I enjoyed the music and the fun enviroment. Great place to work. – less

Employees are treated fairly, and the business is good. The hours can be dreary, and night shifts make a social life somewhat difficult. I enjoy working for Darden because they are equal, and very much invest in their employers.

Darden was and still is a wonderful place to work. And has been the foundation of my style. Always put your team first and your team will put the guest first.

The company was very flexible with my hours of work. The staff was friendly and almost like a second family to me. The benefits were great as well. It was a serving job so some nights would be extremely good and others not so much. The company goes out to they way to accommodate the staff and tries to help in any way. The managers were also very respectful.

Good place to work at in the beginning but there was a big downside when it came to managment.

Darden has a wonderful ideal of how their employees should be treated. Unfortunately, there is very little accountability for the managers to actually implement these ideals.

Managers are expected to stay until 1:00 AM for a close and turn around and open at 5:00 AM on truck days. Not good for families or any one continuing education. Pay wasn't bad.

Quality atmosphere and menu, in house preparation and quality focused environment. Good place to work.

The co-workers, management, and higher management were all great to work for.

Excellent leadership within the company.Constant company growth.Ongoing training provided.

Working at Darden polished me in the customer service/hospitality world. There Core Values are followed & enforced by the management, which makes it a great positive environment to work in. They cater to their employees and their well being.
