Pros

tips, the money was poor but with tips it was okay. I liked most of the people and my co-workers were fun ti be around.

Cons

bad management, i hated working there because of the management. Once me and my boss had a huge arguement, and I quit and he fired be but he begged for me back three days later! :) Some of the people had bad attitudes. Whenever i needed to leave work early or take a day off for some reason that would never let me. They even made me work on my birthday! It was so awful.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
