      Pros

      It is always busy on weekends. Managers do try to accommodate schedules. Comfortable cozy atmosphere.

      Cons

      They over-staff servers all the time, resulting in not enough tables per server. Managers also play favoritism to alot of the servers, giving them the more lucrative section of tables - continuously. Alot of money could be made if more tables were given to each server. Also - managers constantly YELL in the kitchen, causing chaos. They are always yelling for servers to get their orders in the computer so that they can meet some sort of sales quota - for their own benefit only.

      Pros

      My staff is great and work very hard for me. Floor moves are easy to understand. The company is very agressive in making changes that help to keep us in business.

      Cons

      Your always on even if it your day off. Conference calls schedule as after thoughts in the middle of the wk which is when they want you to be off. Phone message system that must be check several times a day. Restaurant managers calling you for things they should handle.

      Pros

      If you work hard they will give you the hours that you want plus as a server you make a good about of money for being a temporary job.

      Cons

      they have a certain way that everything gets done and there is little room for individualism. they like things being done one way even though it might not be the best.
