Pantry Manager - Anonymous employee FLIK Hospitality Group Employee Review

401k, employee meal provided on-site, medical, dental, and vision is good, and uniform is provided, people are nice.

benefit package could be better.

Weekends and holidays off. Exceptional pay for the area I’m in. Coworkers are great.

If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant you understand having a sense of urgency, the ability to communicate clearly with your managers and coworkers, and what it’s like to be motivated to serve guests your all. This is not that. I was 21 when I was brought in to lead all pastry production with no training or onboarding. Throughout my time here it’s been nothing but a struggle trying to communicate with my chefs to get answers to questions or concerns about upcoming menus, ordering, broken equipment, and the culture within the kitchen. At one point I was promised a promotion, or to at least be put through FLIK’s manager in training program, but after finding that my chefs didn’t really care to follow through, it’s made working here miserable. It’s like having an office job, but you stand and move around all day instead of sitting at a desk. If you are new to the pastry world, don’t join FLIK. The money is good, but the experience you can get somewhere else will be much more valuable.
