We work with diverse teams of people in all of our restaurants – nearly 80 employees in all. What our talented staff members have in common is the desire to create, every day, the best possible dining experiences for customers. Our employees are the indispensable ingredient in the unique Early Girl Eatery dining experience.
We value hard work – and fun, too – emphasizing an intra-company atmosphere that fosters the free flow of ideas and suggestions.
Through our Respect, Rewards, Recognition (RRR) program we show appreciation for people as individuals as well as for their excellence as employees. We celebrate personal achievements and milestones: graduations, marriages, home purchases, new babies, military service; and work anniversaries, promotions, and new hires.
We regularly plan something spontaneous and fun for crew members; dropping off treats for all at our restaurants. Pumpkin painting, Friendsgiving, winter holiday surprises and more are also part of our employee calendar.
