The great team of employees.

The way the shifts were run. Being on the same job for too long becomes monotonous.

Crew Member

May - August 2018 • Springfield, MO

What I liked

The facility was really clean and you didn't leave work feeling greasy and gross (like with some other food service jobs). My managers gave us a fair amount of flexibility with our hours. Employees also get 50% on all menu items!

What I wish was different

When I first started at Tropical a shift manager had just quit and nobody stepped in to properly train me for a few days, leaving me a bit lost. Working day shift was much better than working evening shift as well. It was better organized.
