Golden Corral reviews

Oh boy: Hourly rate does not reflect the level of responsibility expected of you at ALL. Upper management has some unrealistic expectations from store management/hourly employees. They're constantly pushed to see who can do the exact same job for less money. This leads to people not taking pride in the intense level of work expected of them, which leads to bad customer service, which is why this company is falling apart The restaurants are often, if not always, unsanitary. You may have heard of GC's recent PR disaster in 2013. This is not an isolated incident. Nor are the viral pictures of the filthy dishroom. This was an every day thing for most of us. Changing expiration dates on old food was very common to avoid penalization on our quarterly inspections. And finally, the work load was unreal. We were expected to keep the bar area filled to the brim with new product, meet our daily prep and production needs, and assist customers as needed. That was hard enough on its own, but then they rolled out a single serve display which we would run back and forth trying to keep full, sometimes for hours on end. All for 7.50/hr. I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy. Don't consider working for them unless you do not have any other (legal) options. I myself would consider government assistance before I returned to golden corral

Management definitely plays favorites. They seem to base placement in company and hours scheduled on gender and on age.
