Russellville, AR
The managers suck because they don’t let you use your paid time off and if you do try and use it they just cut your hours...Show more

Bad communication but good accountability
Line Cook
A lot of issues took way too long to fix, but once I got to sit down with management and talk they addressed the issues. Pretty rough during the holidays and the pay isnt the best - but there's worse out there.

Consistent Job good for temporary
Line Cook
Good job, hours are good and pay is alright. It all really depends on manager and how good of a person they are. Job is super easy and you could have fun while doing it with co workers.
