Pros

50 percent employee discount on food and non alcoholic beverages. Flexible schedule for school. Closed in the middle of the day.

Cons

Tip share system extremely unfair to servers. Servers required to tip out regardless of tips made at table. If no tip left from customer, server must take tips earned from other table to make up the difference. Chefs not required to share tips received.

Pros

You can make good money once you build your own routine and build a relationship with regular customers.

Cons

The clientele can be very impatient, obnoxious and entitled, and it is not the healthiest work environment which adds to the stress. It can also be very unorganized and frustrating to be around.
