Super bad management - Barback Three Oaks Hospitality Employee Review

Love it. Great place to work.

Unfortunately they have high management turnover.

Majority of front line employees (servers and bartenders) are great staff and easy to work with.

Completely toxic culture and environment. Every post you've ever seen about toxic leadership describes the experience of working for this company. The level of abuse, sexism, and narcissistic behavior that is deemed "normal" culture within this company is completely inappropriate and I personally have never been treated with such little respect, as a human, in a professional working environment. All concepts are lead from a place of fear and greed. The expectation that since one C-level exec has chosen to have zero work:life balance (because every employee on payroll is "an idiot who doesn't know how to do their job correctly") no one else should either, and every employee receives the wrath of this Exec's misery. Employees walk on eggshells constantly with the threat of being publicly humiliated. Consistently it was heard that it was upper leadership's goal to make everyone as miserable as possible and that leadership intentionally came down unnecessarily hard on staff so that when a note of positive feedback was given staff would get a high from that nugget of praise. It was a vicious cycle of staff being scared to do anything in fear of a potential mishap and being fired, yet management constantly coming down on staff for not performing the "Three Oaks Way" aka not driving sales performance. At the end of the day it is a business and revenue does impact everything, but leadership should come from a place of respect of people as humans vs. trying to drive sales by demoralizing and degrading individuals into upselling a $4 add-on to a chicken tender tower.
