i spent a long time as a manager in the hospitality industry. i found that there are good and bad teenaged employees, just like there are good and bad employees of any age. Usually with older workers you can figure out what you got by looking at a resume or job app and calling references. Kids are harder. They often dont have any work history or even experience and don't always realize that work = money.
What i found is once you have a couple good ones, just let them know when you have job openings and ask them if they have any friends who need a job. I usually found that the kids who were good workers knew who they wanted to work with and didnt often send slackers. I also paid bonuses ($100 or so) if they reccommended someone and they made it throught their 90 day probation.
I dont know what the laws are in your state, but here we have a 90 day probationary period where an employee can be let go for no other reason than 'sorry, this just isnt working out'. if so, take advantage of it.
I agree that often bad employees are the result of bad management but not always. You will find bad employees under good management only slightly less often than you find good employees under bad management.
