Depends on Management

Recommend

Pros

If you are a closer you can make great money. Great training program.

Cons

Depending on management they play favoritism by either who sucks up to management the most or who goes out with them after work. They overstaff like crazy so if you're not a favorite and you're usually cut first, you're lucky to get 2 tables. Then after being cut you have to do a certain amount of work delegated by the closers, which usually includes helping them run their food and rolling silverwear they use. They get more money for us doing their work which gets frustrating.
