Pros

You get payed every week.

Cons

The general manager always got trampled by the other managers when it came to decisions The general managers boss was ridiculous and incredibly stressful They constantly nit pick you, especially if you're an amazing employee and if you suck they treat you like scum and usually play favoritism and fire you for something petty The guests treat us all like dirt and in turn the managers would give those guests free things Our hours were constantly inconsistent Awful awful awful
