      Pros

      Managers are very understanding to availability. 50% discount on food. Managers let me do school homework. Working at a restaurant is like being in a big family

      Cons

      Every time I sat a table, Some servers would be too stubborn and refused to take tables just cause they didn't want it. As a host, it was hard for me to satisfy my coworkers(servers) because nobody wanted to take any tables. I wasn't treated fairly when I worked here. Too many complaining from servers every time they got sat. Coworkers here always liked to argue. Managers are also biased.

      Pros

      Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

      Cons

      One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
