Not a right fit for me
Hostess (Former Employee), Tukwila, WA –
This is a very fast paced establishment. The staff was great and hardworking. It was just unaccommodating for workers who were full time students, such as myself. I learned a lot here that's for sure.

OSI
Bartender promoted to Service Manager (Current Employee), Dalton, GA –
Pros: great staff, awesome environment, outstanding training
I will never say that I haven't enjoyed every moment I spent working for this company. But I will say that it is a job for a younger man than I. It is a company founded on great principles and fantastic beliefs. But my personal direction requires me to leave with all the things that Outback taught me.

Good short term position
Head Wait, Server (Current Employee), Colonie, NY –
Pros: decent health insurance, ability to socialize and be active, various interaction experiences with customers
Cons: inability to ensure stability in income, prefer day over night job, late nights
I learned how to work with a variety of different people with very different personalities. I learned how to work as a team and how important it is to perform your task well for overall success as a whole. Being employed through various management teams, I've learned about what interactions seem to work and which ones don't work as well. The hardest – more...  part of serving is dealing with being "stiffed" on a check by unruly customers. The most enjoyable part of the job is having the ability to be active and move around and interact with different people. – less

Fun workplace
Server (Current Employee), Oklahoma City, OK –
Pros: atmosphere, customer/employee relationships, experience
Cons: work schedule
A typical work day is about 6 hours of meeting guests needs.

This job has taught me the importance of team work and customer service.

The hardest part of the job is constantly being on feet for 6+ hours.

The best part of the job is knowing that you made a guests evening enjoyable and entertaining.

It is a good place to work if you are still in school, working as part-time.
Bookkeeper; Trainer (Current Employee), St. Petersburg, FL –
Pros: flexible schedule; half off meal
Cons: no break
Taking care of your guests is very demanding. You have wonderful guests, and not so. So you have to learn to read your guests to make sure their dining experience is smooth. Most of the time I am able to do provided my guests with good experiences. What I've learned from being with this company are team work, lot and lot of team work. Even though you – more...  only have two or three tables section, the demand of your guests and your duties to your jobs will sometime be fluttering. So team work is very important. Being able to solve problems is crucial, such as taking care of your guests first and everything else second. The managements team at Outback are extremely polite, caring, and personable. They are their to help you succeed in making your tips and having repeated guests to their restaurants. Most of my co-workers are young and energetic and fun people. They work hard and know how to have fun and are learning team work. Most of them are and were in my position, working part-time and finishing school. The hardest part of my job is trying to please every guests at my tables. As I found out, there is that 0.001% of the guests who cannot be please, no matter how hard you try. Time and time again, the most enjoyable part of my job is when the wait is over, everyone is more relaxed and the tension of the rushed subsided; time to clean up and go home. – less

Horrible management, but often chances to make decent money.
Waitress/Hostess (Former Employee), Toledo, OH –
Pros: once in a while you can make $100 a weekend night.
Cons: the rest of the time you make $20 a night.
On the off chance the customers will treat you nicely, the management won't.
