Pros

Looks really good on resume. Is a good gig for the moment but not a place to stay for too long. You have the opportunity to learn about the Italian culture and you get a good education. Those are the benefits available if you use it to your advantage

Cons

Long hours, little pay. If you a server you’ll make money that’s really the only area where the money is at if you just want that... there’s a lot of favoritism and if management don’t like you they’ll come at you. There’s more firing than quitting and management usually don’t last and is always the good ones that leave.!

Pros

Amazing managers who listen and care for their employees

Cons

None! Best job I’ve had and would work there 100% hands down if I still lived in the city. It gets insanely busy but it comes with the territory

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
