Hostess (Former Employee) – Springfield, MO – September 18, 2018
I'd imagine Houlihan's is like most food service environments, as it is fast paced and reliant on communication with coworkers. Management was unorganized in ways, but they have since redone that department. I would often not know when I was going to be done with a shift, and end up leaving many hours after predicted cut time.
Pros
40% discount
Cons
Not flexible with schedule
fast pace you have to keep up
Dish Washer (Former Employee) – Cleveland, OH – September 7, 2018
it was ok working at Houlihan's it was really a lot to do as a dishwasher and not enough pay I would recommend to support family but overall ok experience
Pros
free meals when you first start off
Productive and fun work environment.
Service Coordinator (Current Employee) – Westbury, NY – September 5, 2018
A typical day at Houlihan's requires all employees to work hard to keep the guests happy and the restaurant in good form. I have learned many lessons from Houlihan's. I have learned how to fix a problem the guest is experiencing in the most professional way possible. If I cannot handle the problem on my own the management staff is quick to assist me. The management is very helpful and understanding in any situation. The part I like the most about this job is interacting with the myriad of people that come into the restaurant.
Pros
Interacting with new guests during every shift.
Cons
Guests problems and no health benefits.
The job is okay for some extra money

Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Minority is a bing thing
Overwhelmed by the required tasks

Overall experience working for Houlihans
Server, Bartender, and Salary Bar Manager (Former Employee) – Strongsville, OH – June 26, 2018
On paper it seems like an amazing place to work, it's been around for a long time which is impressive. The money as a server, or bartender is decent but you have to hustle for it. They often times set expectations for you to follow without following them themselves. No leading by example.
Pros
Money is decent, the guests are nice, the menu has a little of everything on it making them open for all types of diners.
Cons
Upper management is awful, they have horrible communication skills, they don't give everyone equal opportunities to shine, and never hold thank you themselves accountable.
