Pros
Aesthetic/ambience. Simplified Chipotle-like kitchen. Casual dress code (company t-shirt and jeans)
Cons
-6% bar tip out (highest in this city), 1% busser tip out (you are still expected to buss your tables at all times) -sidework/closing work violates DOL's 80/20 rule. approximately 75% of their labor relies on their 2.13/hr service employees- who tip out their hourly employees that are sent home when labor is high (labor is always high) -their expectations to continue running food after you've been cut leave you there for 2+ hours after cut on a regular basis -inexperienced and ill-trained management fear making service cuts and will keep you there for 4+ hours without a table (also directly violating DOL's policy that states that servers cannot be kept on doing indirect work for more than 30 consecutive minutes without being compensated hourly) -toxic positivity culture - reluctant response to evident sexual harassment -inexperienced and ill-trained management means short ordered trucks on a regular basis (be prepared to work without necessary resources like soft drinks, napkins, and various menu items on a daily basis) -flooring is cheap and never installed properly, constantly comes up despite replacing it- possible mold issue? -when our A/C went out in May-June 2022, it took them two months to have it repaired -discriminatory management (hostile or neglectant toward certain demographics) -discriminatory servers (I was regularly given tables that were suspected low tippers) I've been in the industry since 2009. Agave and Rye is the biggest crap show I've ever seen. I wish them the best of luck!
