      Pros

      Flexible scheduling, opportunity to make good money, usually get time off if you request it, coworkers were the best part

      Cons

      Doing the job of 3 people for minimum wage, working ridiculously long hours, not enough money for the hours you work, company cares way more about the customer than it's employees. The turnover rate is ridiculous and it was always understaffed making it stressful for the dedicated employees.

      Pros

      If you want to get into chain management, it's a pretty good company for that. Excellent training (you have to be a stickler), and like most chains, you'll have to relocate

      Cons

      I've worked in 2 AppB's and were perpetually understaffed, but that's kinda the way the business is these days

      Pros

      cash in-hand every shift, a good reference for other server jobs, opportunity to strengthen your skills, employee food discount, basic and simple menu

      Cons

      way too much work expected of the servers. you bus your own tables, roll your own silverware, a lot of people come in just to take advantage of the half-price apps. you tip the hosts just to seat you, not to help bus your tables which seems backwards to me since i thought the company paid them an hourly wage to seat the restaurant...
