      Pros

      Great discount, liked working with most of the people, the other managers other than the general manager was great to work with, and felt like I was part of a family.

      Cons

      The general manager was not the greatest person to speak to in general.

      Short term intro to serving

      Pros

      I learned how to be a basic server. Their requirements were simple enough but severely lacked quality. The company wants guests in and out to turn tables and train servers to encourage that. Another pro is I learned what to look for in my next serving job. Pro 3, you don't have to handle guest checks, they pay up front.

      Cons

      Silverware. You roll before and if you do not sell enough of the promoted items then you get more tacked on after your shift. The uniforms and the fireplace. It gets hot. The fireplace also is wood burning and can make your eyes water, asthma act up and just irritate the body. Two table sections on weekends and holidays. untrusting
