Pros

The people working alongside you are some of the most supportive, and genuine people. There are usually a lot of servers hired on, so picking up a shift and dropping a shift are usually no issue. I also made a good amount of money while working here. You get compensated based on your efforts!

Cons

It could be stressful at times, as the hosts over seated your section, along with others which caused long ticket times as well as just chaos.

Pros

Aside from having magnificent coworkers who bond together over the trauma of working at this establishment the other pros to working at True Foods Kitchen in the Kansas City Missouri area is the exciting wonder of paying our bills in time due to the fact that Management poorly and I repeat poorly schedules and assigns us to areas in which we need to make ends meet. Another delightful contribution to the restaurant is the occasional regulars who share empathy and concern over the stress and disappointment of our job.

Cons

Where do I begin with the cons? First of all we’re in an age where the majority of us are GenZ, perhaps millennials, the attitude and the respect of the people in authority here at True Foods Kitchen, approach the environment by creating a culture of top down authority which includes having to earn privileges for a basic human rights such as eating when we are hungry. Every day feels like preparing for battle between front of house and back of house and management. Nothing is collaborative. Nothing is respected and heard between each team, creating a sense of insecurity and fear of whether or they not will be placed in circumstances where financial needs will be met. Often times servers will hear two particular managers, snicker back-and-forth about other servers and other employees making fun of their concerns and stonewalling any any attempts to give feedback or request for a better work environment. Often when these two particular managers are working chefs servers hosts to go employees will often feel dismissed, unheard, disrespected, many of them, shedding tears by this treatment. While it’s understood these two managers have had many years of experience in the restaurant industry yet their behavior has created unease especially when they try to be nice yet so easy to downgrade and be unempathetic to the workload that servers have on their plates.
