Pros

-managers are very flexible with scheduling and understanding -really nice and helpful colleagues; we hang out quite often after work hours -super fast-paced working environment during rush hours, which is good because time passes really fast

Cons

-very little upward mobility; I wanted to get promoted to a server position but most servers are still the original servers since the restaurant opened few years ago -managers take yelp comments very seriously; if a grouchy customer commented about your name on yelp, you will be asked and warned even though it wasn't really your fault (grouchy customers due to long waiting time; they can't really talk to you rationally because they're 'hangry' (hungry + angry))

Pros

good tip out percentage, you will get about 90% of the tips received, schedules are flexible as you can drop them and once its picked up by another employee and approved, you are relieved from that shift, and vice versa you can pick up shifts.

Cons

employee benefits for food is minimal, only 50% off on selected items
