      Pros

      Discounted food. Can usually find someone to cover shifts.

      Cons

      Horrible, incompetent management. "High-school" setting in which favorites are chosen and cliques are made. Laughable compensation and possibly illegal "tip-share" You will end up doing unrelated work (such as dishwashing) because they are too cheap to hire workers.

      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!
