      Pros

      It's easy to get hired here. Several people got hired around the same week I did. Only 1 of them is left or hasn't finished up their 2 week notice. The reason is because of the location. It's in the heart of the city and the low quality clients that come in only tip like $2 and $5 so you can work for 9 hours straight and only leave with $45 bucks a couple nights in a row.

      Cons

      low tips and the computer order entry is quite un-user friendly. Computers are easy for me though so I learned it quick but others had trouble getting their routine down the first month.

      Pros

      The people are fun to work with, it is a generally good atmosphere. You can make good money if you are willing to work hard and pick up tables.

      Cons

      The managers are incompetent sometimes. You are clearly only working there to pick up money for the short term. Some of the people you work with are losers.

      Pros

      Was always fun place to work. Hours were god and great customers. Several locations so you could advance quick if willing to relocate

      Cons

      Food quality was not the best. Focus a little to much on numbers and not on the people. Sales were down.
