Pros

Great food and culture. Can be a really fun place to work. A great chef can make for an easy night.

Cons

NEVER enough manager. I was stuck working 60-70 hours a week. Only 3 managers to run a store doing 60k a week. No kitchen manager We only had 2 managers for over 2 months. At least 2 open to closes a week.

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.
