I worked the door multiple nights and numerous people said to me, "You must be new, because your too nice to work here." I did anything I was asked and I was constantly busy by working hard. I'll close this review by saying the way that Ken and Brenda Arthurs treat their employees in a way that nearly constitutes as a 'Hostile Work Environment' or Workplace Harassment that could warrant a civil lawsuit. If you're considering working here, or you have worked here and experienced something similar know your rights.
I was sexually harassed at wolfies and nothing was done about it. I had a man in the VIP section come up and inappropriately touch me and say lewd and sexual things. When I made a complaint to management I watched one of the owners take money from the man and ignore it. The second time he came up to me we complained again and the owner rolled her eyes at me and refused to kick him out because he was a “regular customer”. She also said this same man has admitted to harassing girls before - he threw drinks on us and had his friends in the VIP flipping us off as we left after the issue was not resolved. I was disappointed to see that nothing was done about the situation. I will never return to wolfies after this.
Decent bar, grubs sports bar has some of the best food at the best price in Indiana
He was recently withholding my final paycheck for me UNTIL I signed this Termination Agreement that him and his wife made up. This is directly against Pennsylvania Labor Law. The Labor Law states that whether an employee's fired or quits, the employer MUST pay his final check by the next scheduled payday- and if they dont pay within 30 days, the employer has to compensate the former employee for the full amount of owed wages plus the greater 25% of wages or $500.
In the end, I was fired for an unjust reason. I was working in the dish room at the closing of the night, and I could not hear that he called for me on the radio-earpiece (because you cant understand a word he says- he murmurs to himself, he doesn't actually speak or enunciate his words) anyhow, he called me to come help sweep the floor, I didn't hear his request so I proceeded washing dishes in hopes of getting out early or on-time as he demands you to do. I was called by a different employee to the main dance area, and when I stepped into the area, from the top balcony, Ken yells, "You don't wanna listen! you know what your fired!" from the top of the DJ booth. I know he had been drinking while DJing that night and personally, I couldn't take it another minute so I responded "That's fine by me." I "turned in my headset, dropped off my shirt and clocked out" as he demanded" He said I can pickup my check on Wednesday.
"Wolfies" is popular spot for dancing, they keep it extremely clean, Grubs sports bar has quality food for low prices, but regardless of all that, I've never been treated that rudely from any boss in my life.
The problem is that you never once receive a formal training on how to do practically anything, therefore you begin your employment in a frantic rush of not knowing what to do and in fear for once the owner (Ken) sees you not doing something, or doing it 'incorrectly' he will explode by yelling, and talking down on you. You cannot explain yourself or even have a conversation with this man. 'His way' is THE ONLY way to do everything and anything. However, as I said you're expected to know what that is without him actually teaching you.
Last visit we came to order takeout. The waitress was nowhere to be found. Other employees coming in and out of the kitchen just stared at us but never sent anyone over. The waitress finally came out talking very loudly on her phone, she saw us and continued talking on the phone. Her other table tried waiving her down but had to get up to get the check from her.15 minutes went by of this. We finally stopped her and she told us the bar was on the other side. We told her we just wanted to order food to-go and she responded "you know the kitchen closes in 10 minutes, right?" We did not know so I ended going elsewhere. The other few visits here have been similar; very slow service whether busy or slow. Unlike the service, we like the food but won't be returning.
The owners of Wolfendales (Ken and his wife Brenda Arthurs) are by far, two of the most rude and threatening people I've ever met. I worked for Ken for a total of roughly two weeks (Sept. 2018) Despite being warned by numerous other people about their reputation for 'not paying their employees', I still gave them the benefit of the doubt and worked 'Security'. I will readdress the point that multiple people who worked for Ken Arthurs before (or have known someone too) said that he refused to pay others and that the owners are very 'mean'. Throughout those two weeks, I was constantly berated vulgarly, I was never talked "too" once, I was talked "at" and they were condescending about everything. They even referred to two of their younger employees who are 19 years old as "tweedle dee and tweedle dumb".
This is my go to place, for music and drinks, always have a good time here.
Unfortunately, I reluctantly signed his fake termination agreement against my own moral integrity because it had completely False Information regarding the reason for my 'firing' or 'termination'. It said something to the likes of "refused to listen to supervisors, neglected to do some duties...etc" I don't remember exactly because they didn't give me a copy. I just wanted to be done with them and never see em' again. But, I imagine they did this so I couldn't file unemployment (which I wouldn't anyways) and because the true story wasn't enough to legitimately fire me.
