      Pros

      If you're good at your job they're great at promoting within. Good company to learn how to get your foot in the door with serving but after a while, it's draining.

      Cons

      Mismanaged and often lacking resources. Didn't require set standards for everyone so a lot of times side-work didn't get completed by certain servers or between the lunch-time to dinner-time transition which left you scrambling mid-service.

      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.
