Working at TGI Fridays in Santa Clarita, CA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Clarita, CA Area

What do you like about working at TGI Fridays?

"I like my co-workers, getting to move around all day, I like talking to people. They are flexible with your schedule, I walk out with cash everyday."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"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."
