Pros

Easy to pick up more hours. That's the only good thing I'll say about them.

Cons

I've worked at 2 different stores for a total of 3 years. The last store I worked at was HORRIBLE! I had panic attacks driving to work. Employees are constantly bullied and yelled at by the a**hole GM. He has put his hands on (at least) 2 servers (meaning he SHOVED 2 servers) corporate got involved in both cases and nothing was done. I don't care how good the tips were, nothing is worth being treated like that. Also, there is no automatic gratuity for parties, servers get shafted on Sundays with church crowds that don't tip. The company genuinely does not care about it's employees. Servers are a dime a dozen, so if you don't like the way you're treated, quit. That's your only option.

Pros

You have the chance to make a lot of money and you tables turn over very quickly so bad tips tend to add up very quickly

Cons

Managment is some what incompetent They over work the servers because they are the cheapest labor They make you roll 100 silverware every shift The shifts tend to b 7 hour shifts The tips are horrible
