Courtyard reviews about "work environment"

not great work life balance

When it's busy, the workload is very demanding, especially since the Bistro is often run by just one person. I’m responsible for taking orders, making Starbucks drinks and alcoholic beverages, cooking and serving food, bussing tables, cleaning the kitchen, and closing everything down at the end of the shift. It’s a lot to juggle alone, particularly during dinner rushes. If you are interviewing for a courtyard bistro position, I would ask them how many people are normally staffed at your location.

Long shift hours, need good communication skills

Sometimes can be overloaded on work on the time frame

Upper management pushed a very cut throat and toxic work environment with little to no training.

Poor management that holds no one accountable. They only care about things that directly affect guests and the guest reviews. Nothing is ever fixed, we still have equipment that has been broken for 4 years. The a/c never works in the kitchen so it's a dangerous work environment. The air vents and guest rooms are full of black mold, but they just put wallpaper over it. Management is only worried about their bonuses at the end of the year. Managers drink on the job and can never be found when help is needed for service. Managers deflect when issues are brought to their attention. Employees do whatever they want with no consequence. They make employees do the job of 3 people but don't pay what they deserve. Schedules are either posted last minute or not at all. Employees steal whatever they want.

Management was awful, no support from them. Favoritism, enabling one person something but not the other. No structure; expectations and rules change by the day. Upper management turns a blind eye to misconduct and abuse of all forms. No loyalty from the company to its employees. Wage theft, illegal time clock adjustments, sexual harrassment from superiors, hostile work environment, all condoned by upper management.

The role is demanding and can sometimes be overwhelming. The fast-paced environment may lead to unnecessary stress, and the hours can be unpredictable, which might affect work-life balance.

Offered us an extra $1 an hour for our salary if we got the COVID vaccine, and during a literal pandemic, that's hard to pass up. That was a little strange. But other than that, it was a great job. Not much room for growth, they'll usually outsource for higher-up positions.
