I worked at Olive Garden for over two years. I moved and actually like it enough that when I moved back home a year later I came back to work for them again. I loved the atmosphere and coworkers.

It's a good place I recommend working at olive garden. You rarely have nothing to do because we are usually pretty steady or we are busy, and management is good.

I really enjoyed working for the company. They are very well rounded and respectful and understanding. They treat you like you want to be there always helpful and they made sure your hours were well worked out

Caring staff. Good training to prepare you to do your best. Always have you try new dishes so you can better describe them to the guests.Downfall is because everything, except the main course(and even sometimes including the main course) you will work harder than at any other restaurant.
