Pros

-Online scheduling made it easy to plan shifts around school schedule and to pick up/give up shifts. -Good money for a part-time job. -Everyone is nice and fun to be around!

Cons

-Never knew when I would be able to go home, management decided when we could leave. -Lots of favoritism among scheduling. Only 2 out of the 5 hosts got good hours despite everyone being available. -Expected to juggle multiple things at once with a smile on your face, but I guess that's customer service everywhere.

Unfair duties.

Pros

Big sections, cooks make all food(not in charge of soup salad or desserts like some places)

Cons

Lots of side work, no bussers, first cut winds up with more side work than others & gets paid server minimum

Manager

Pros

They usually hired from within. I was only 22 and was promoted to a salaried manager position. I was the youngest manager in a 30 store franchise. I enjoyed the fast-paced atmosphere. I loved my job.

Cons

A 32,000 a year salary working 60 hours a week was excruciating. If another manager did not show up for work, I was expected to cover their shift. It was a lot of work or little pay.
