What don't you like about working at 2510 Restaurant?

"Having to clean up after another part time decorator constantly was very tiring. My manager didn't like confrontation, so when some employees caused constant problems, she did nothing about it.Some managers were drinking buddies with staff and in turn those employees got preferential treatment. Employees not being able to fill out a simple cake order form, when all you had to do was circle the item. Finished cake orders were put in a designated cooler section specifically for cake orders, and I'd come in to see that someone would place full sheet pans of food directly on top, crushing the cake box. Raw uncovered chicken being placed directly above finished cakes in freezer bins, and raw onions and bacon being placed directly above and next to finished cupcakes in the cooler, absorbing onion smell and possible raw meat contamination. All of which was reported to management. If you get a break, you'd better bring your own food because as an employee, you are the last person to get waited on... even if you are punched out and a customer there after your shift you are still the last to get service. Low pay, and they are constantly trying to pay you for extra work in food vouchers. When the manager took the side of a decorator who ruined a $500 wedding cake and left it for someone else to fix, that was it. I quit."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Clean this place up. Practice better sanitation. Do not put raw uncovered meat anywhere near other foods.Do your job! You are not managing if you do not correct problems and avoid things. It was said that the owner could here everything that was said in our department from his office, but he also did nothing to get his managers to correct any problems either."
