      Wouldn't recommend to hourly or management - Manager Famous Dave's Employee Review

      Pros

      None anymore, Ed Rensi has destroyed the brand and morale in less than a year in his command. Imagine what's to come, can you say Applebee's food with a Buffalo Wild Wings design.

      Cons

      Our CEO. Old CEO John Gilbert is the one that set the stocks climbing. Rensi is just riding on those coat tails. Watch as he and his buddies, on the board put it up for sale.

      Pros

      Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

      Cons

      One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
