Levy Restaurants Employer Reviews

Fast paced food and beverage service in an event industry work environment with long hours. Never a dull moment with constant energy and movement. Love traveling in the off season and meeting new people every step of the way.

I have been involved in restaurant & bar business, transportation & finance business which has enable me to deal with all kinds & classe*s of people. This background has enabled me to develop very good to excellent people skills.

The job is a fun job, it gets extremely busy and stressful at times, but that comes with every job. Some co-workers are extremely lazy and do not do their work and it is questionable as to why they still have a job here. the easiest part of the job is when it is a nice casual slow event and you can relax and work but still enjoy it. Management needs – more... a lot of work they arent professional at all. Also it is the hardest job and you are paid the least out of everyone. – less

it was a learning experience. i was able to work with so amazing people that will guide you to a more professional place in your life.

Fun and challenging place to work. Hours / schedules can become tiring.

Very fast paced environment. Need tons of energy. Co-workers are great and so is management

My overall view of Levy is simple, get rid of the managers who is not fair and it will be an awesome place to work as it was in the past. Would recommend anyone to work yes providing they get into the correct dept.

Very fun working and making money in a gameday atmosphere. free pre game meal. The management and other staff, for the most part are all fun and pleasant to be around.

Great food, got to meet a lot of people including co-workers and celebs.

very fun yet stressful. worked there 5 years and they can never seem to get it right.

Felt sort of like seeing the world, but went nowhere. Both as a career and location. Glad I had the opportunity, but have moved on without regrets

I enjoy the free food after each day, management can use a little help on structures, co-workers are awesome. Hardest part of the job is dealing with supervisors who wants to please everybody, best part of the job is the cash tips and food.

ok place to work and relax, good pay, great enviorment, great people.

Maybe the company culture has improved since I left. And I do consider that opening a new arena comes with considerable challenges. But my feeling is that most of the management in this building started off on the wrong foot. During the hiring process, we were all told that it was our attitudes, not our experience in the hospitality industry that would – more... land us the job. In my short time working at Barclays Center, I heard more than a couple of stories of very qualified applicants not being hired. But upon hire, it was assumed that most of the employees were seasoned in the field. A fiasco ensued. Because applicants weren't properly screened for the job, it was assumed that most of the employees were incompetent and so we were treated as such by management. If most of the managers had better communication and problem solving skills, there would probably be less issues in the arena.

There were a few things to be desired from fellow employees as well, such as a willingness to help others instead of the pettiness I encountered. The way you were treated, depended on where on the hierarchy you fell: bartenders were treated more fairly than say a server's assistant or a runner. Favoritism was not uncommon among management.

I'm sure a common complaint throughout the arena would be that there isn't a universal policy regarding tips. It ought to be determined that all tips are pooled or that everyone keeps their own tips and gives a percentage to their barbacks, runners, or server assistants. Without a universal tip policy, teamwork and camaraderie will never be encouraged and what you get is a Darwinian workplace. The Levy Difference prides itself in customer service and a willingness to help people. Maybe next season, there will be more positive reviews about working at Barclays Center. – less

I would divide the restaurant into different sections and would assign them to the buspersons. The restaurant itself was located in the outfield of US Cellular (chicago white sox) so there was always a full room. The tables had to be reset quickly for the next customers. There was always celebrities in there, big shots for different companies which – more... made the job fun and interesting. – less

Take food to place of service in building. Set up stations with food while also preparing the entrees and other food items. Learned the important method of storing, recieving and purchasing. Coworkers made experience pleasant.Putting food away is hardest part of job to control the temperature danger zone. Serving the customer was also pleasant.

It was a great place to work at. I enjoyed listening to the concerts while i worked at the market.

Pretty good job, besides being seasonal. Work days were normally very fast paced and I enjoyed that.Co-workers were easy to work with and always wiling to help.

Levy Restaurants gave me a start in the work world and allowed me experience and knowledge of hard work.

I enjoy this job it's like a social playground where you meet all types of people
