Pros

Learn the Restaurant industry if you are entry level Management works together to provide a cohesive atmosphere Company is very organized Great training easy to use accounting and inventory computer programs

Cons

Very difficult to receive bonuses! Employees must work all holidays (thanksgiving, christmas eve and christmas day, new years eve and day). You must also sign a contract that is based on 50 hours a week but you will work 55+ hours. If busy, you are required to cook and expedite food. Benefits are mediocre. Raises were once a year and 3% or less.

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.
