Pros

The money was very consistent, even in the summer. Between working in the restaurant and having catering to supplement your income, there was plenty of money to be made.

Cons

If any part of the restaurant had issues, it would be the main line of the kitchen. The cooks were fast and worked hard, yet there wasn't an actual chef or kitchen manager that would keep them working as a team. This would slow them down a lot and would often snowball into slow ticket times.

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.
