Pros

cash in-hand every shift, a good reference for other server jobs, opportunity to strengthen your skills, employee food discount, basic and simple menu

Cons

way too much work expected of the servers. you bus your own tables, roll your own silverware, a lot of people come in just to take advantage of the half-price apps. you tip the hosts just to seat you, not to help bus your tables which seems backwards to me since i thought the company paid them an hourly wage to seat the restaurant...

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.
