Pros

- Good pay, but you have to pay for parking yourself ($100), pay for your own meals (50% off on two items), so not really that much after you paid for all of that.

Cons

- Disrespectful managers with low EQ that blame employees for their own incompetence. Extremely rude to employees (yelling, glaring, you name it. I've seen one push an employee with her hand). - Micromanaging and constantly going back and forth with rules and policies since there are 4 managers and they all have different ideas on certain policies. - Rudest customers I've ever seen in my life - Hard to get sick days, force you to work on national holidays and you don't get any holiday pay or bonuses (even though the restaurant is the busiest during those days and make the most money eg: Christmas, Thanksgiving) - Occasional "employee education" where they make their employees stay until past 12 sometimes - You have to pay for your own parking, food, ServSafe certificate - Taking 10-minute breaks are frowned upon; people often go hours without water - Difficult to get promoted or extremely biased promotion. Hardest working people don't get promoted while people that slack off, are rude to customers are promoted. (I don't understand at all) - None of the values they try so hard to claim as their culture is being reflected at this place. - Favortism. You could get fired if managers don't like you

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
