Pros

You get to control how much money you want to make, depending on how hard you work and how many shifts you work. Fellow servers, hosts, cooks are fun to work with

Cons

Managers are unprofessional-make female workers sometimes uncomfortable. Feedback is not presented in a professional manor. Favoritism is shown to whoever will do you personal favors in/out of work

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.
