      Pros

      I had really great coworkers which made me love my job a little bit more than usual. Management was extremely nice and loved to joke around and have fun. Also knew when to draw the line.

      Cons

      Because it is not a high end restaurant, some customers might stiff you on the tip. That ended up being the reason I quit. I felt like I wasn't be appreciated for the hard work that I put in. You'll find that some people think that they're better than you even though I have a college degree.

      Do yourself a favour, apply at a different restaurant.

      Pros

      The menu is substantial enough, and always evolving. You never get bored of trying to find things to recommend to customers.

      Cons

      If you've ever wanted to experience working for truly passive aggressive management who have no concise plan for where to take the business, look no further. Sexual advances from management towards staff are common place. The largest issues in inter-staff relations, and employee performance are addressed with notes posted on the bulletin board, and there is rarely any constructive criticism offered where appropriate. Instead expect reprimands for issues never brought to the table before the boiling point. Not the way to grow and develop an effective team by any stretch of the imagination.
