Pros

Staff linq You meet amazing people from managers to co workers Make good tips depending on what shift and what zone Kitchen you make money but its so repetitve especially fry Sometimes the managers let you eat dead food....food that they dont meed or was put in incorrectly About every month there are new menu items and you get to taste test them They are so flexible with your schedule just as long as you dont push it Laid back atmosphere, some managers seem to actually care and they actually listen

Cons

Even though the managers are great, some tend to overlook sidework being done Host sometimes fall out of seating rotation which I dont understand how cause there is a chart up there...its common sense if u ask me Some servers tend not to do side work Please pray you have a good line, cause our broil was horrible....30 minute check times on pastas, steaks Sometimes prep is horrible and we run out of important stuff on the weekend. Forced surverys that really the servers probably do themselves
