* Management – more...  isn't anything of a bad teaste for me, aminly becuase I do what is expected of me as an employee – less

horrible
Kitchen Manager (Former Employee), New Boston Uhio –
Cons: no breaks, verbal abuse, no personal life
Never had a 12 hour day, was always 14-15 hours, 6 days a week was not uncommon. I have never been treated as badly as I was treated by Platinum Corral. Not matter what you did, it was not enough. I was made to transfer there, no choice. The manager had just not had a heart attack. . If you are considering this company, you had better reconsider, a – more...  huge mistake to work for them. Beware of a manager named F G. he will make your whole life miserable. – less

Pros: reduced lunches, free drinks
Cons: short breaks, trash runs heavy, long periods of time on my feet
A typical work day consist of a lot of different attitudes and personalities that I have to adapt to in the workplace to benefit the company's success. I learned that team work helps a lot in this kind of setting. Management is okay, but can improve! Hardest part of the job would be trash runs. The most enjoyable part of my job would be knowing that – more...  I'm doing something productive with my time. – less

Franchised Golden Corral
Certified Restaurant Manager (Former Employee), Boynton Beach, FL –
Pros: increased management and leadership experience
Cons: 70+ hours a week, day off changed last minute frequently, no breaks, yelled at, swore at in front of customers/employees
Golden Corral as a restaurant chain is a very successful restaurant concept. It is popular because of it's affordable prices and large selection of freshly made food.
The Golden Corral in Boynton Beach,FL is a franchised restaurant that is owned by a private company. The restaurant serves 10 to 13 thousand people a week. As a manager, keeping the restaurant – more...  running successfully everyday comes with many challenges.
The owners require that the managers work in the employee positions which makes in fairly difficult to manage a restaurant which serves over 2500 people a day.
I learned a tremendous amount from working there, not just professionally but also personally by strengthening myself as a better leader and role model.
In the end I refused to work 6-6.5 days a week, sometimes over 80 hours a week, considering my employee/employer agreement was 5 days 55 hours a week. – less

Fast pace environment but not very reliable
Baker (Current Employee), Saint Louis, MO 63123 –
Pros: free lunch, hourly pay
Cons: benefits, healthcare, hours
Golden Corral is a fast pace work place where a lot of customer service is involved and is all about the customers needs. When it comes down to the management and the hours they give, it's not very reliable.
