Pros

Employee discount - 50% off on food. Schedule can be flexible during slow seasons.

Cons

The chefs take 9.5% of the total food sale in tips regardless if customers leave a tip or not. The servers are required to tip them their 9.5%. Servers' wage is about 1/2 of the minimum federal wage. It's not surprised to see a sever makes no money in a busy night.
