Hickory Tavern Reviews

They hire people from the outsidethat don’t know the brand, and have not a clue how to actually manage people. They don’t want to move anyone up inside the company, or pay them decent in the positions that their in. One of the newest mangers can read, spell, or do anything admin related. There’s been multiple attempts to initiate some sort of change, but it never happens. Just a bunch of broken promises that are never fulfilled. No quality of life, no bonuses, training is weak, corporate doesn’t care about anything involving this particular location, there’s no incentive of recognition for the 14-16 hour days your required to work. The philosophy “your favorite place to work” is absolute comedy.. it was the worst and most miserable job I’ve ever had. Never did I feel welcome, cared for or important from any member of management or the corporate office.

They will work you like a dog. Corporate does not care about their servers at all. There is no gratuity and the tip out is questionable but none of the managers can't give you an answer as to where the money is going. If you are a server they will not move you behind the bar. However, many people move up to manager positions. It is a boys club of a company and women have to work harder to be seen as management material.
