Pros
There are essentially no pros to working at Tripps, besides a few nice coworkers.
Cons
I've experienced many of the same things as the other reviewer/former employee: -Less than minimum wage as a host. I averaged about $5-6 an hour WITH tips and they claimed it all averaged out while it definitely did not. -Terrible scheduling, did not post schedule until days before it started. Did not respect requests off either. -No idea when they'd cut you, they'd say "about 3pm" and make you stay until 7pm, etc. -They'd also cut you after a 2 hour shifts meaning you planned your whole day around it and only made $10. -Experienced a stress fracture and was told I wasn't allowed to wear my air boot because it was not "uniform". Had to work an 11 hour shift on a broken foot without a break -Routinely worked 7-11 hour shifts without a break for food or even to sit down. When I was allowed to eat I was offered very low discount on their expensive for (a meal was more than an hour's wages) -They also mysteriously "lost" my tip out from the last day I worked, claimed that I must have taken it already -Terrible sanitation practices (Do not eat the bread! Those boards are not properly cleaned!) -Expect you to constantly be working even if it's 3pm on a Thursday (read: dead) -Coworkers were dramatic, petty, and would trick you into taking shifts -Manager was petty, micromanaged the hosts, and created an atmosphere of stress. There was one nice manager who rarely was working at the New Garden location. -Hired way too many hosts and you had to split a very small host tip out among 3-5 people (working in the afternoon? $2 tip out. At night? Woo! $12! You've almost averaged min. wage!) -Constantly changing the uniform and making me spend my own money on new, nice clothing. -Hosts would do the servers jobs for them but be paid a fraction of what they were.
