| - I have been putting off reviewing Tupelo for a while now because I have very mixed feelings towards it. My first experience here was awesome! I got the breakfast bowl I think it's called and it was delicious! It had so many different flavor a that blended so well together! I couldn't wait to go back and I did a few weeks later for brunch again and got the same thing! Again delicious.
A few months later I moved closer to Tupelo and I was so excited! I went back a few more times and again, everything was delicious. The service was great and everyone was always nice. I decided that I liked the food and atmosphere so much that I was going to apply for a job, if only I knew what a headache this would be.
I applied and got hired on the spot. I was told ode hear from the manager about orientation by a certain date, didn't hear so I had to call. So I showed up for orientation, it was typical what I expected. Then I had my first training shift all set up. I showed up and the restaurant was closed? I almost turned around and left until I saw someone I knew from orientation. She informed me that they closed to retrain everyone....okay. So I went up expecting to be on the floor training and what I got instead was a 5 hour orientation. Had I known about this, maybe I wouldn't have been so annoyed. No email, no phone call, nothing. The response when I asked- oh I thought you got an email. So I let it go, went through the 5 hour orientation that was paid-plus. Then again had to sign up for my first training on the floor. Apparently they had no openings? Which I don't get, I've worked in the restaurant business for a long time and usually you just match a trainee up with someone working. So again I was told they would contact me, I double checked they had my contact information, they did....but again I was not contacted. So at this point I went through 2 orientations and not being contacted 3 times after being hired. I didn't even bother at this point, I found another job that cared about its new employee it hired.
With all that said, my view of Tupelo has changed. I was less than pleased. It was so unorganized and unprofessional of a business and I could not believe it! Not to mention I did not get paid for my time that I gave up to be at orientation. I've been back once because my friend begged to go there but otherwise I will not be returning. I tasted a lot of the food during orientation and the several times I've been there and it's not that great, a lot is pretty typical and not very "farm to table" like it's said to be. And the last time I was there, the servers were all over the place and having private conversations right in front of our table, again unprofessional.
Usually I hate giving bad reviews but I felt it necessary for what I experienced here.
