Should I take the job with Grill’d?

I’m an 18-year-old university student and recently received a job offer from Grill’d after a successful interview yesterday. I was informed that I would be receiving my contract within 48 hours. After the interview, I finally had a moment to do some research on the company, going beyond just the information I reviewed for my interview prep.

What I discovered was quite concerning. I came across information about their issues with the level 3 hospitality certificate and the lack of penalty rates for public holidays and late-night shifts. My main question is whether they are still engaging in these practices from 2019. Surely some changes must have been made by now, right?

Although I’m looking for a second job since my first job at a tutoring center gives me limited hours, I value my education and time too much to compromise that for a position that doesn’t treat its employees fairly. If Grill’d has made positive changes since then, I’d be on board. However, if the situation remains the same, I would prefer to decline the offer.

I’m not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but I appreciate any insights or feedback!

One thought on “Should I still work for Grill’d?”

  1. It’s great that you’re doing your research before committing to a job! Concerns about company practices are valid, especially when it comes to work-life balance and fair pay.

    Regarding Grill’d, while they did face criticism in the past over working conditions and pay practices, it’s essential to check for the latest information. You might want to look for recent reviews from current or former employees on platforms like Glassdoor or Indeed, or even seek insights from recent threads on social media.

    It’s also worth considering reaching out to Grill’d directly with your concerns. This gives you a clearer picture of current practices and may show them that you’re informed and care about workplace standards.

    Ultimately, if they haven’t made necessary improvements or if you feel uneasy about working there, it’s perfectly fine to decline the offer. Your education and well-being should always come first. Good luck with your decision!
