Overworked and Micromanaged - Anonymous employee Mimi Cheng's Employee Review

You get a free meal.

-Shady and incompetent ownership -Low staff (very intentional) -Work overload -Exhausting shifts -Unnecessary pressure

There were no pros honestly. It was a paycheck coming in... so there's that?

I honestly don't even know where to start with this restaraunt. I'm the first person to review this younger restaraunt franchise so what I'm writing in this review will hopefully help many of those who may try working for this company later on. First off, the restaurants are DIRTY. And I mean disgusting. The hood vents in the kitchen are layered in grease from years ago, and the grill has 1 inch grase build-up inside it. I took it upon myself to scrape most of it off after a grueling 4 hours but even after that, the owners and team members didn't bother to acknowledge the upkeep in making sure it doesn't get disgusting again. If I was a customer I would never eat at this place. Secondly, there is ZERO managament in place. The owners are the managers technically, but they're never there! The busiest day (Saturday) they always had off. No direction, constant turnover because everyone is always confused and would rather quit! I was also extremely sick with an extraordinarily high fever but was still told its my responsibility to make sure all my shifts are covered, they don't care about their employees. Their benefits is just a lousy TransitCheck for commuting and poor quality dumplings for your shift meal. This place also doesn't have managers on site. There is zero growth potential. This place is driven by egos and nothing more.
