Olive Garden Employee Reviews for Host

"I have worked for Darden for almost a year now and I must say that it's a great company that offers multiple benefits for its employees. There are 401k programs that promise to help employees retire by matching their investments. There are also charities that help feed the hungry. Specifically one called Darden Dimes that I have taken part of. During my time with the company I have noticed managers come and go but the strong ones always remain and stay true to the core values of providing an excellent guest and employee experience. Mostly the company has convinced me that to succeed in this world you need to maintain a "can do" attitude and it really holds true for the restaurant industry, I believe that working for the company has given me insight on how to maintain a level head in stressful situations and especially how to solve complex problems efficiently."
