      Pros

      Good money and good guests

      Cons

      Long work weeks sometimes with back to back Shifts Ex. 4-close and 7.30A-5.30p. Not always show recognition to managers that are breaking there back to make employees and guests happy.

      Decent pay for part time work

      Pros

      Overall a flexible work schedule. Working for tips can be frustrating sometime, but on the average (including slow day and busy weekends) I'd average around 9-10/hour, so include you base pay it's decent for a part time job in an area with a low cost of living. Also management usually allowed you to trade shifts with other employees if you needed a particular day off.

      Cons

      Getting time off to travel over the holidays can be very difficult and frustrating. The best shifts to make money are Friday and Saturday nights so you have to work weekends if you want to make money. People often didn't show up for work so management would often call on short notice to ask if you can work. You don't have to show up since you weren't scheduled, but always saying now will affect your future shifts.

      Pros

      It is a great restaurant. The food is wonderful and together with the employee discount it's great. The bar is excellent and they also have a wide selection of liquors. The employees are also great to work with.

      Cons

      We are almost always understaffed. During friday and saturday night, we would only have 3 cooks in the back. That's not enough.
