Such a beautiful venue that has great potential the guests are always having a great time. But all the cons are about how the business is run. I got fired in a retraining session for new items. Asking someone about the tastings and they assumed I wasn’t taking it seriously. I had already been working there for a bit but they rehired 150 new staff after Covid was phasing out. And then handed me a paper that stated I was banned for 12 months from their premise. A few other people got the same letter. Toxic environment that creates a lot of hostility. And in terms of where all the tips go was pretty sketch too bc of tip pool.

Upper management is the issue

The issue with Lavelle is not just management which is constantly being rotated, but it's upper management that should be held accountable for the vast issues described by everyone. Tips can be good but you can find the same compensation somewhere else. Nothing about this place will be fixed until upper management is cleaned out.

Honestly not a fun place to work, coworkers are most of the time rude or competitive. Often asked to stay past scheduled and not given breaks, was told tips would be included however was told after hired that they don’t provide them until “full service”. Management is terrible.
