Pros

Extensive training makes sure that you are ready for anything. As a host the pay was good and all my coworkers were great people and enjoyable to be with. All the staff are hard working and for a restaurant the turnover is not as fast as one would expect. The customers are generally great to the employees as well.

Cons

The hours are tough but given the nature of the business to be expected.

Pros

Great training experience as a waiter. Clyde's is truly the best in customer service--whatever the customers ask for, they get. After your shift, you can get a discount off anything on the menu.

Cons

Waiters only look out for themselves, don't believe in teamwork. Managers played favorites; they gave the best shifts/tables to their favorite waiters (usually brown-nosers).

A good experience working with professionals

Business Outlook

Pros

Thorough training, professional environment, many coworkers from different walks of life, restaurants are pretty beautiful...they dont cut corners, if you are serious about being in the industry you have an opportunity for real growth here. Can be flexible with your schedule. A great network to be connected to, especially in the Washington, DC area.

Cons

There is a substantial income gap between employees working lunch (typically newer) vs. those who work nights. A higher hourly pay might make sense for those working lunches and help to retain new staff instead of spending the money training folks who wont be there for the longer haul.
