Outback Steakhouse Employer Reviews

Everyday we would come in to new challenges and games at the work place. Everyone would come in wanting to make money and get ahead of the game. Managers were always there when needed and co-workers were always there to help. It was a great restaurant to start off at because of the high volume. I started as a hostess, then worked my way up to take out, – more... and ended up as a waitress making up to $300 a night. – less

Co-works are enjoyable.
The Company has made some major changes recently. I overall enjoy working here.

A typical day at work for me would consist of serving multiple tables with a smile all while managing your time wisely and working as a team with your fellow employees. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing people leave feeling full and satisifed with the experience they had while having dinner with me.

Atypical day at work included:Make sure all menus are wiped down, Make sure entry doors are clean, Check with phone reservationists, or answering machine messages to assure you have all reservations, Greets guests, escort them to their table, and present menus, Keep the counts for individual server so things come out fair at the end of the night. Managment – more... was good and i enjoyed working with them. My co workers were fun to work with, very social and outgoing. The hardest part of my job was trying to make lots of people fit in the area allowed. The most enjoyable part of my job was working with fun and social people who also enjoyed their job. – less

The Poway Outback was run like a well oiled machine. I learned that if you take care of your people, they will take care of your business. I especially enjoyed getting to know the regulars.

I learned a lot working for this company. As we all know, serving is not a glorious job no matter how you look at it, but it does have it's positives. Beyond the long hours, constant employee interaction, and demanding pace, serving at Outback helped me learn how to thrive in a hectic environment and learn that I do possess a high level of patience, – more... and was able to deliver great customer service no matter how harsh the environment. Outback has a very demanding training program that is essential for new employees to thrive. Thankfully I was valued enough to be part of the training process, which taught me many job skills that I will take with me to future employment. – less

Generally a stress free and enjoyable environment to work in. Co-workers are very friendly and easy to get along with. Daily activities include opening and closing duties, cleaning, maintaining customer satisfaction, and maintaining the general smooth flow of day to day operations.

There were days that the job required you to maintain busy and attentive of all guests. There were other days that the work day was rather slow with no guests at all. My co-workers at Outback were overall friendly and nice. I learned a lot about multi-tasking errands and providing the best service I could to each guest no matter their circumstance.

work hard, make money
cooperative work environment

Loved all of my coworkers, however, the manager is immature in handling situations.

I love this job! I like my co-workers and the management. It is a great environment all together.

Long work days in a stressful environment

Learned a lot of cooking techniques

Food-service is not exactly fun, but I learned a lot about working in a fast-paced team environment and working well with others.

Great chances for advancement with so many job titles. Something new and challenging everyday. Amazing corporate atmosphere and management.

Generally, I serve many guests each night, providing customer service and ensuring a great experience with our company. The most enjoyable part of the job is the various types of people I get to meet on a daily basis and the hardest part of the job is finding a balance between long night hours and my desire for an hourly day job.

Assisting customers with anything and everything they need to have a fun, relaxed, enjoyable environment. Time management skills, and great verbal communication and interaction with the general public were a few things I took away from my time working there. Co-workers were hard working people for the most part, and worked together as an efficient team. – more... Hardest part of my job was relying on others within my position and having my reputation to the manager be determined by a group, not just a solitary state. The most enjoyable part was the closeness the staff had, like one great big family. – less

This is a great place to work, and gives great experience dealing with customer service (complaining customers). I am not a fan of constant action and literally running around just to get the job done. People in the industry are awesome and am still friends with most co-workers. Loved working with the people there

On a regular day, I could go to work, have a bunch of fun meeting new people, and get paid for it. I learned a lot about humility and humanity in that you always get out of something what you put in. Management was great for the most part, but when it was bad it was unbearable. My co-workers were also great for the most part with a few exceptions as – more... there were some who felt rules did not apply to them which at times made for a hard or troubled shift. The most enjoyable part of my job was the friends I made into "regulars" and the hardest part was saying goodbye to the only job I have known for over 15 years. But, I guess as the saying goes, when one door closes, check the side of the house for an open window! – less
