Pros

Fun, fast paced environment, and of course, great food! I loved the team I worked with, and flexibility of hours

Cons

Restaurant work is difficult, even when catering. Hot weather, burns, etc are just part of a day in the life, but this is still so much better than other restaurant jobs out there

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.
