Hard on middle management - Hostess bei Back Bay Restaurant: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Good locations to work at

Demanding at times and consistent

Stable company that does reward employees for a job well done. Standards are fairly high. There is usually good upward movement within the company, and has enough stores to provide that growth. Local industry comment " if you can work for Back Bay, you can work for anybody". I believe the comment is meant as a badge of honor (so to speak), but is true in some cases. They do push you. Overall I would say that my experience there was mostly positive, although I had to eventually go and find a lower pressure type position. Like most things, companies go through growth periods, so they may have learned to treat employees better in the years after I left.

Sometimes can put to much pressure on employees to succeed. Not normally a problem, but management doesn't always put in the same effort.
