Pros

GREAT customers! The best part of working there was getting to know the regulars. Aladdin's is a staple of the Lakewood community and the people there love it.

Cons

CHAOTIC. If something goes wrong, it's a race to put the blame on another person rather than fix the problem. Verbal abuse is the norm if you work there. Expect to be berated and treated badly on a regular basis. The corporate office is well aware of the mistreatment of employees (I was certainly not the only one), but they do nothing about it. In addition to the chaos, there are no benefits offered to full-time employees, and the pay is very low for a full-time restaurant management position.

Pros

Managing posed a great opportunity to lead staff members as well as interacting and assisting guests in a new way. The cleanliness is what really stands out to me, after various jobs, the values of Aladdin's will always stick with me. That being said this has been the cleanest restaurant I have worked at and perhaps been to. The food is great and healthy, it makes the discounts matter.

Cons

Pay is difficult to maintain and not consistant however 100% of your tips goes to you. When I first started working (in Powell) it was very easy get hours, when I moved to another location in Worthington I got very few, there was also some issues with other staff getting along.
