Not worth it - Host Lettuce Entertain You Employee Review

Pros

50% employee discount as well as 20% discount for all LEY restaurants, good food, paid above minimum wage, great tips if you're a server/bartender. Mangers were usually understanding and fun to be around, and they made sure everyone got a break most of the time if they were working a double. Cool coworkers. Good health benefits and paid vacation for full time/senior employees.

Cons

Hostile work environment; very cutthroat. Senior servers are rude towards managers, hosts, and new servers. GM had emotional/anger issues and micro-managed, would frequently belittle and/or frighten staff. High turnover rate, we were constantly understaffed. Miscommunication between management and staff. Constant screw up's with seating/rotation courtesy of the GM, who was often just as rude to customers as staff; made it clear that this particular LEY establishment was only about making money. No room for growth. Hours were inconstant. Would often either have too many host's on at once, or not enough. Host's get paid about $2 less an hour than at other restaurants.
