"TGI Fridays is a chain restaurant and as such has good and poor qualities (From a server/bartender standpoint). First and foremost, this company has a lot of deals such as endless apps that are designed to bring in more customers. This is a good thing however a majority of the time the people who come in for these deals are a younger crowd and don't know how to tip when they do get free meals and such. There is also a point system for customers who save up points and will get free meals and will only tip half of the meal because of the bill. Outside of that the managers at the aurora location are very nice and helpful. They will work with you if anything goes wrong and help to fix any problems the employees see or have. The company also has health insurance and discounted meals which definitely help. Overall I would rate Fridays a good job for people who need a good starting job."

"Show that you are happy, energetic, and competent. You NEED to be able to multitask and work well under pressure. If you get the job, make sure you have tough skin. Some customers are going to be outright rude to you. Some customers are not going to tip you no matter how good of a job you did."

What don't you like about working at TGI Fridays?

"We are only negatively reinforced. You are never recognized for any good work you do but are punished for anything wrong that you do. Shifts are given out on seniority, not on who does a better job and is a better employee. You get half off only up to five dollars. With so many coupons and promotions our customers pay less to eat than we do. We cannot split our own checks. We cannot open our own drawers. If I have to go to the bathroom I am supposed to sign a paper that says I am taking a ten minute break. I get asked to fix other peoples mistakes daily. Our general manager will find things to yell at people about if he is having a bad day, like coming into the office to pay him..."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would reward my employees for doing well, I would give better shifts to better workers, and enforce the same rules for everyone. I would give my employees half of their ENTIRE meals. I would give them Thanksgiving and Christmas off. I would let them open their own cash drawers and split their own checks."
