Brinker International is the parent company of Chili's. For hourly employees, the work-life balance is flexible and the pay rate is above average in the industry. For managers, the opportunity to develop and be promoted are realistic and within reach. A new program was introduced to allow hourly employees to become promoted into a Certified Shift Leader program. The employees who take advantage of the program have the opportunity to learn from relevant online course materials and managers alike. I would recommend working here if hospitality is the industry that interests you. The company is moving in the right direction.
Management is very inconsistent, which makes for a very stressful work environment. Corporate is always trying to change the company image and focus, so it is difficult for employees to feel like they are able to do a consistently good job. Employees are micromanaged to death and criticized over every minor detail while there are major lacking issues that are not addressed. There are no opportunities for growth, and hardworking employees are not recognized in any way. Favoritism is rampant throughout management, and employees who are not reliable or competent are rewarded because they are friends with the right people. The company needs totally restructuring and new accountability.
I work at a Maggiano's owned by Brinker and overall my experiences have been wonderful. I work in the BOH as a pastry prep cook and my head chef and sous chefs are always there when I need them. The organization and sanitation of the restaurants excellent. The open door policy makes it easy to talk to my Chefs about any problems and overall scheduling is very easy. I'm a college student and my chef is very flexible with me so that I can work as may hours as I'd like and still have time to focus on school. The hardest aspect of my job is that the work is demanding. Product is always moving, as we are a busy location so it is important to make sure I get everything done on my prep list even if it means staying late. However, my chef are still very helpful and when they notice someone falling behind, they themselves will jump in and help us employees get back on track.
