Anchor Bar

Anchor Bar was super fun when it first started, it was crazy busy and all staff had equal opportunities for shifts. For some reason business really slowed down and now they keep canceling staff's shifts. It is really annoying to have to go into work and then be told you're not needed, call the employee prior to their shift if it's not busy!

I remember when I first started the manager would expo, the occasional time she would pick food off the plates right before we took it out. When staff would do the same she was not impressed but as a manager you need to understand; staff watch you, you have to be a good example - you're the leader of the team!!

I use to work there when it was filled with managers and staff doing drugs. The previous owner ran the place into the absolute ground, claims to be a fantastic boss and "chef" but is literally probably one of the worst people I have met, he has since opened two other locations and I suggest avoiding them. Now that they have totally changed management and got new staff I have heard that it has totally flipped. The new GM is fantastic I worked with him for a couple months. He is extremely knowledgable and wonderful to work for, treats his staff properly.

Fun experience, you meet a lot of multi-cultural people that you learn and teach a lot too. Getting to try new foods is the best thing about working at Anchor bar. The job is very easy unless its very busy and the kitchen is under staffed. The place might get a little hectic but that's something to expect when working in a restaurant, Working at Anchor Bar was a great experience and the management team was amazing people and very understanding with your at home life situations.

The CEO of Anchorbar does not give one cent about his employees and only cares about the money. He believes servers are beneath even dishwashers! They have no structure, no care, no organization and most of upper management are pretty incompetent. The employees are the ones that suffer with such poor management.

When I first started working at Anchor Bar it was amazing, I would look forward to coming into work every week. Once our manager left suddenly head office did not help out our location at all. Anchor Bar has claimed bankruptcy at the end of January and I along with many other of my colleagues have not received our pay or have been given information for a trustee. The company did not care about their employees at all and it really showed.

I work in the Hamilton location and it's amazing. Great staff all around! The GM is a great man and treats his employees with respect and is very understanding. He's always trying to make things better. I would definitely recommend working here.

i made great friends for life at anchor bar at the atmosphere was fun n exciting never the same day twice i always looked forward in seeing my friends

Good working environment.
Learned skills to work in a fast paced environment with minimal or no supervision
Managed the flow of customers that was entering the restaurant was the hard part of the job, but learned to manage the skills

My experience working at Anchor Bar was pleasant all around, the only drawback is the owner is cheap as far as salaries and tip-outs are concerned. Also the employee discounts that come with the job are insulting.

It's a good company with excellent working environment and norms. I had good experience of cooking there. It provides excellent customer services and specifically look after to their children.
