Pros

There is room to advance in the company, if that is your goal. if you don't mind working odd hours, evenings, and late nights.

Cons

The hours are long and unpredictable. The amount of "side work" was unrealistic and probably illegal. server were required to to was dishes, when a paid dishwasher was not scheduled. a dishwasher was never scheduled during day shifts, servers were paid their regular wage of $2.65. while a dishwasher was paid anywhere from 8-10 per hour. Servers were also required to perform the jobs of prep cooks when they were not scheduled. Also never scheduled during the day shift, also paid between 8-10 an hour.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
