They don’t care about you.

Pros

Money, team, people, food, tips. Servers care about their clientele

Cons

Just a bad place to work. Management is horrid. They are willing to run you into the ground. Will have you use your money to get from place to place, tell you they will reimburse you and never do. During COVID, they kept open when they could. They eliminated people they didn’t value, reduced yearly pay of salaried employees by upwards of 25% and demoted most of their staff to fit the situation. Cut hours, demanded you show up on off days, schedule was almost never set. I personally witnessed a worker take a steak out of the garbage can they accidentally tossed, put it in a to-go container on the advise of upper management in order “not waste money”.

Pros

Great chefs who truly care and high quality food. Beautiful looking restaurant . These comments apply only to the restaurant The Boathouse at Downtown Disney that opened in April 2015 by the Gibsons restaurant group .

Cons

The most biased schedule that I have ever seen . The same group of servers are assigned every week to the indoor sections where the money is made . The rest are scheduled for lunch or outside where it's 90 degrees or it rains . This pattern is repeated weekly , so it's not by accident . The restaurant has 17 indoor stations and 13 outdoor ones , and this is Florida . The medical insurance for 1 person is more than $550 a month. Yes that's not a typo . We left full time jobs with good insurance to work here and now we are scheduled part-time . The latest is that a manager has to clock you out now , for your own benefit of course ....

Pros

The money is unmatched, in the suburbs. As long as you know your menu, show up on time, in uniform and treat the customers well this is an ideal work environment. The money isn't easy, but its there.

Cons

The management staff is not concerned with taking care of the employees. Taking care of the customers is the only priority, and sometimes it seems as though that isn't even a priority.
