Pros

-All about the customer's experience, goes out the way to make customers happy -Decent discount

Cons

-VERY strict with everything. Down to the way you hold the ice pitchers, to the way you pour the drinks -All about speed "order on the greet", which can make you feel rushed and not connect with your customers -Clientele doesn't tip well. Low cost menu=lower tips -Co-workers are extremely childish and catty. Seniority wins there, and if you're new and others get in your way, good luck, management will NOT care -Coworkers would do things such as mess up your side work, steal your rolled silverware, bump into you as well. -Ugly uniforms

Pros

This job is great overall and I really attribute a lot of the positive atmosphere to the retail manger! Lazondra is the best! She is incredibly kind, encouraging, and understanding! You’ll feel very welcome starting here! She wants the best for the store, but also the best for you as a person! She’s also definitely not afraid to get out there and help out the team! Love her!

Cons

Sometimes it’s a little slow work wise, not that the restaurant itself is slow, but you can only refold the same shirt and check on the same shoppers so many times.
