Good place, great people

Host (Former Employee) – Dedham, MA – April 14, 2018

I had visited Kings several times as a customer before becoming a host. I developed a deeper appreciation for what the people do there. Its one thing to enjoy a dining/entertainment experience and another to help create one. And admittedly, the latter is not always fun. But the people you work with make it worthwhile and that is the key thing.

ok for a high school student

Bakery Department Associate (Former Employee) – Hillsdale, NJ – February 12, 2018

Management is not the greatest they think they are running a multi dollar store. If you like to work hard for little pay and be treated as though you can be replaced...

Competitive sales environment

Store Manager (Former Employee) – Cincinnati, OH – November 28, 2017

Know your product if you don't want someone else taking your sales. Be on time and don't expect to run out of the door at the end of the day. You will be asked to assist in dressing the show floor as well as vacuum. You will learn how to finance customer purchases, You will process your own sales. Everyone is on a cash management / accountability system. Management is hard core. If you have personal business to attend to, make sure you have communicated your needs prior to accepting employment, otherwise your feelings will be hurt...
There are slow periods of this business. It helps that everyone working there is in a similar situation, ask questions if you don't know something and aren't prepared to guess.

Pros

Learning environment

Cons

hours, lack of benefits, long days during peak periods

Stressful environment. All calls monitored.

Marketing (Former Employee) – Kings Mtn, NC – November 15, 2017

I did not enjoy this position at all. I accepted phone calls for Lilly Pharmaceuticals from consumers, physicians and pharmacists and was charged with answering questions they may have regarding Lilly medications. This position was all computer and phone. I missed patient care and I didn't feel like a nurse.

Pros

weekdays with weekends off

Cons

stressful

Messy management

EVENT SERVICE TEAM MEMBER (Former Employee) – Lynnfield Ma – October 30, 2017

Unprepared managers and inexperienced crew. Fun place to work but no room to advance and no real rhyme or reason to executive decisions that were being made. Frequent change of leadership and high turnover for low level employees.

No longer available

Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Tremonton, UT – October 19, 2017

The company went out of business last year due to the CEO retiring and the next generation not wanting to take over the responsibilities of running the already dwindling franchise.

Don't recommend

Waitress (Former Employee) – Delmont, PA 15626 – August 16, 2017

I would recommend a better paying restaurant. The management was horrible. The tips are horrible. Maybe as a side job, but you definitely cannot live on just working there.

Scheduling Coordinator (Current Employee) – Lewes, DE – March 31, 2017

a typical day is being on computer 10 hours / taking phone calls and scheduling shifts for clients/ handling problems that occur w/ caregivers on shift/ or clients issues/ dealing w/ them myself or directing them to the right person. I enjoyed the people i worked with at the company very much. Hardest part was not getting break for 10 hours... management changed alot and could have been better.

Cons

no breaks//under paid

Cashier

Customer Service (Former Employee) – Allentown, PA – January 23, 2017

This was my first job as a teenager. I was trained on register. The typical day at work was mostly providing customer service by ringing up customer's foods and products. I also fronted shelves and put away returns when needed. Management/supervisors were very helpful when I needed help.

Pros

Breaks were every two hours.

Cons

I don't remember any cons.

Good place to learn new things

Line Cook (Former Employee) – Lynnfield, MA – September 22, 2015

Places has a good environment. The place could use better management for back of the house. It can be difficult if there isn't someone who knows what they are doing running a kitchen.
