Sharis/Dennys Hiring Practice Complaint
I was a potential employee call in on a scheduled interview at the Shari's location in Roseburg, OR. I spoke on Thursday, February 9th with Desiree, who scheduled the interview for Saturday the 11 at 3pm. I was lead to believe that she would be conducting the interview. When I arrived, I was informed that she doesn't work on Saturdays, and John was the General Manager I was supposed to interview with, but he had left due to a family emergency. All this was a nasty suprise to me, as no one contacted me to reschedule the interview, and I live quite a distance from the restaurant. I reluctantly rescheduled for Tuesday, Feburary 14th at 3pm, thinking John would be there, which they had informed me he would be at the reschecule.
When I arrived on Tuesday the 14th, I was informed John wouldn't be back until Thursday, but Tiffany would do the interview. I waited there until 3:30, and no-show from her either. Again, no one contacted me ahead of time to inform me of the changes to the personnel or schedule. This is VERY POOR management. What this tells me is that working there would be a liability, because if they act in this manner with potential employees, how do the treat actual employees?
I am spreading the word about the poor management to all my friends and associates, suggesting they boycott this location. And I really hope that this is not how your operation functions as a business model. Employement is diffficult to find in Roseburg, and I'm hoping management at this location is not using this as an excuse to continue these poor practices.
Hi James, Thanks for sharing your experience with the community! I agree, the method you're interviews were managed unprofessional and unacceptable. Regardless of the scheduling variances and emergency that location shows that it has some internal communication issues.
You have an option to use that weakness against management in order to get more leverage at a time when an interview would be possible but it sounds like you don't have an interest in pursuing employment opportunities any further.
Sharing your experience with friends and encouraging them to boycott that location is one way to approach your dissatisfaction with the Roseburg location but I would also urge you to visit a website like glassdoor.com to log your experience for others to see. I don't think Denny's is a bad company overall but you should give them an opportunity to see your comments and address or improve the situation.
Thanks again for sharing this story and I hope your future job interviews manifest better results.
I was with Denny's in two states seven locations corp is better stay away from franchise and especially NW Arkansas there are so many people that have been wronged they scrape the bottom of the barrel and still suck only drunk crap Friday and Saturday graveyard amethysts because their employees steal them blind and these owner's are so desperate they pretend it's not happening even when told by quality people they deserve what they get
