Pros

My location has pretty good management.

Cons

Not very employee oriented. Their smoking policy is basically, dont work here if you smoke which good luck in the restaurant industry. Their uniform policy is super strict, and since they dont provide starting shirts very expensive for starting uniform. I couldn't find an oxford button up for less than 40 dollars. I think they could at least provide the first shirt since they sell them to employees for 9 dollars.

Pros

The people are amazing to work with, decent hours, relatively understanding management.

Cons

Hours normally dependent on status with management, high favoritism within the company, the star-par system leads to even more exacerbated favoritism.
