Pros

decent prices, good tips, ok management, fun environment

Cons

servers are rated by their ability to sell special items, like certain promos or draft beer. this can sometimes feel like you're a salesman in addition to a server and can negatively affect tips. not a lot of room for advancement or growth.

Pros

being able to meet new people and customers. getting to interact with some customers can make your day and make time go by faster.

Cons

when asking for shifts, they are not given as needed. when you are given a compliment by a customer, is mostly goes unrecognized. they do not care about employees problems and usually have favoritism.
