Denny's Employee

"As a server at Denny's, I received minimum wage plus tips. The tips were a significant portion of my earnings, but the amount varied depending on the time of day and day of the week. Overall, the salary was in line with industry standards."

"ANYONE HUNGRY!? I am currently an employee at DENNY’S and I’ve been with this company for 3 years. Located on the Strip in Las Vegas Nevada where not only you can party but sit down and have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We are open 24hrs and we are more than delighted to serve you. This company is very strong with great values to make our customers our #1 priority."

"Previously employed by Denny’s. Not much to say. Before then I was working for Bravo Farms, which I learned a lot about personal growth and growth with my peers. Why a tech job? I was part of a cohort with Geekwise Academy at Bitwise in Fresno. Many languages were introduced from basic HTML and CSS to Angular to PHP and Wordpress, Bootstrap. Some of the happiest times I’ve had recently is breaking code then fixing it."

"The sole reason I work at Denny's is as a fill-in job. I have a Bachelor's degree...and serving tables just isn't what I went to college for. I appreciate the job and everything, but Denny's doesn't go out of its way to accommodate its employees...at all."
