Pros

At least you have a job (the only thing that keeps me from going crazy while there)

Cons

the clientele believes that 10% tips is doing something or better yet the young teenagers that don't tip at all; $3.50 meal comps that can only be used on certain items (i've never worked at a job that didnt give their hourly employees at least 50% off meals); lack of hours; 3% tip out; managers that are afraid to go to customers when they are upset; no organization; managers only focused on their bonuses and not the well being of their staff

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.
