      Pros

      potential for good tips during weekends and/or school breaks. The 'chain name' is behind you. Flexible schedules.

      Cons

      Pay. No tip guarantee. Tip Out is unfair. Bartender gets part of your total sales even if you did not sell a single lick of alcohol. Major glass ceiling. No benefits, compensation OR overtime.

      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.
