Darden reviews

too many standards... and it seems that who ever comes up with the standards has never worked as a server on the floor.. they bring it standards to try to make guest satisfaction better but in reality it makes the servers job harder which makes for a poorer experience for the guest. Managers are constantly revolving to different restaurants being transferred and they don't care about employees. long shifts of constantly running around with no breaks and no food and will be written up it caught standing around or god forbid eating a breadstick thats not paid for. uniform has to be perfect or you get sent home. if servers could be replaced by robots this company would be alot happier as we are not allowed to have any personality or go off script.

Restaurant drama and culture (this can't be avoided, but can be especially intense in a big restaurant like Red Lobster or Olive Garden), varying degrees of competency among management.
