Chili's Careers and Employment

First, management was ineffectual in carrying out their job responsibilities, which in turn cost myself money and patience. I was asked to do their job on top of my job. Wanted me to write up the terms between myself and another. This was a personal conflict brought to management’s attention for over 8 months. Internal investigation through TM relations found me not credible and did not protect my identity. The decision had to be reversed because finally an honest person spoke up and told what had transpired, for it happened to her as well, along with every server that was put in the bar with this server/bartender. Have many, just one. Had to grab a manger, for she was not making my drinks, on purpose. The manager pulled the tickets out of the trash and asked her why these weren’t made. Said she made them. Right on a weekday night. Co-workers lied and management violates my HIPPA rights. Manager set an employee for termination by pulling ribs out, to spoil and placing them back after the health inspection. Manager blamed the person set up for the spoiled meat and fired her. I have the pictures of the rotted mea in a tub, that miraculously appeared after being absent for a good count. The last straw was pulling 4 children, all under the age of 12, out of the dish pit. Cleaning plates, running plates. All a violation of child labor laws. This was all reported to General Counsel and the top. I’m still within my 2 years. All the paperwork and evidence that I have will be turned over to OSHA, dept of labor, and any other state and federal agencies that I come across. This company is just another example of too much too quick with no regard of people. The adverts help whitewash the image. Nothing more than a sweatshop.

Don’t waste your time or energy. Go to the next place. Is not worth your mental or physical health.

Extremely poor management. A lot of talk about improving environment but absolutely no action. Servers make 3 to 4 times more per hour than hourly even though as a host you completely bus and wipe tables, run food and drinks and in general serve their tables there is no tip out. Way understaffed. We would open the doors for service with a hostess and 1 server and 1 cook. We were expected to run entire restaurant bar and to go. Absolutely insane.

My location pays minimum wage, plus whatever tips you may get.

I make 12.50 an hour and I’m a dishwasher so pay is good and I don’t have any work experience

I still have not gotten my paycheck from the chili’s in alliance town center in fr worth it’s been three days I’ve constantly called and asked not helpful in anyway

They recently changed their policy so its acceptable now

The rules have changed and wild hair colors are acceptable.

No visable tattooss are permitted.

To be a hostess, busser, food runner, and ToGo server you have to be at least 16. To be a server or bartender you have to be at least 19 since you are serving alcohol. By law in Illinois, you cannot serve or even drop off an alcoholic drink to a table unless you are at least 19 AND have your safe alcohol handling license.

At my Chili's it's16 for all positions except cooks
