      Pros

      You can make decent money if you work very hard and can constantly stay on the managers good side.

      Cons

      The corporate office creates a negative cut throat environment were you are threatened with warnings, write ups and even termination if you do not up sell enough and get people to go online and fill out surveys on the service. we are required to get a minimum of 3 surveys every month each or we get written up. The first month, you are required to come in early on your day off to take a training class on how to push up sells and guilt customers into taking the survey. After the 3rd month, that means automatic termination. They do not care about thier employees.

      Pros

      Decent tips, great training, awesome bar, great coworkers, training meals were a plus and pretty decent employee discounts.

      Cons

      Unfair method of selecting who will work holidays. Based on seniority. Worked pretty much every holiday from thanksgiving to New Year's Eve and was fired because a holiday fell on a day not listed in availability upon hire.
