Pros

The people make the place. Coworkers are friendly and like working at TFK. Management cares about you and tries their best to work with everything you have going on in your personal life.

Cons

Tips aren't the best when you are not a server, but you still do well. They don't always promote within, which can make current employees upset.

Pros

Great place to make a good salary as a server. High pace and lots of tables. Local store staff are great. Food and drinks are delicious. Great work environment.

Cons

Corporate has destroyed the values of this company. Its just another brand that started with a great mission and vision and is now just another corporate restaurant trying to make money.

Pros

The staff that isn’t the managers is actually amazing and so much fun.

Cons

Some of the worst management I have ever experienced in my life. They have absolutely no regard for any of their employees. They’re lazy, talk so much trash about employees to other employees, are annoyed when asked to do their jobs, sweep massive issues under the rug, and are some of the most passive aggressive people known to man. When asked to put out schedules more than a DAY in advance they blamed it on their bosses, staff reached out to upper management where they denied this and yelled at these managers for having no regard for their employees, and their response to getting caught was to send a passive aggressive message starting with “you win”, threatening to write up one of the most unproblematic employees, and then making snarky remarks about the situation. One of the managers has continuously made inappropriate and degrading remarks about my appearance since I was 16 for going out with friends after a shift. I was in dress code and would be clocked out when I would change and she would still make insanely rude and inappropriate remarks to me when I was 16. One of the managers even asked me to come in when I tested positive for covid. These people have absolutely no regard for their employees and only see them as dollar signs not people.
