Pros

good food and the other servers/bartenders were nice

Cons

management are rude bullies, that negatively micromanage every last detail. incorrect scheduled hours EVERY week, did not communicate properly. yelled, judged, and belittled employees until you cry then she’ll ask if you’re okay. claims she has southern hospitality and forces it on her employees yet she is rude. played favorites and needed this job to be our only thing in life. insane expectations for college kids as well as the call out policy. only valid excuse to call out is if you die.

Pros

Pay well considering the surrounding market

Cons

Self centered owner, loves AI for everything. Growing too fast, not caring enough to install systems that lead to success. Ok with being effective not efficient. Zero support, too many apps to do a single task, new restaurant openings are full of broken hand me down equipment(side effect of growing too fast) their maintenance team on multiple occasions they have been reported to management for weird behavior, One time they (maintenance worker) were sending unwanted texts to the host, and she made a complaint and nothing was done. Rude FOH management. They lack the ability to hold responsible parties accountable. You can work 65 hrs a week and they'll still act like you dont work enough
