Long hours Forget seeing another holiday off ever again. Love Thanksgiving? You won't anymore, you will work 90 hours that week Company is headed down hill, no more fresh food, chef Mike does all the work. Just run

Pros

Its more casual and laid back.

Cons

Pay is honestly kinda terrible, but mainly due to the customers. I mean a family of 4 can eat there for like $30 dollars so.
