      Pros

      - I love most of my co-workers - my manager is really cool - weekly pay

      Cons

      - the guests are normally really snobby - the par system is so annoying and makes working there less inviting - no hours, 4 hour shifts 2-3 times a week - super strict dress code which is absolutely ridiculous - music is awful - bathroom checks are so nasty - employees hate their jobs, making them miserable basically all the time

      Pros

      Family atmosphere with employees. Guests are always taken care of. Great benefits package. Pay is average. Employee discount is great. Managers get a free meal.

      Cons

      Depends on the location. No work/life balance. Must work every holiday. No comp pay so some weeks will be extremely long.

      Pros

      I can't believe this company is this awful. I was so excited to work for this company but it's really just is as crappie as it can be.

      Cons

      Everything is a lie. While in training they have you stay in a motel 6 like motel and put you with a stranger you don't even have your own room. The training it's self last from 8a.m. until 11p.m. 5 days a week them on weekends you have to study and basically have absolutely no time off! Then you work about60 to65 hours a week. No Family Life Period
