Pros

This is for the location at 11100 old seward hwy. Good food and some good people. The customers are amazing! They are the true pros to the job

Cons

The assistant gm is not a nice person. she thinks she is untouchable and can do what she wants and treat people how ever she wants. and from what i saw, she is right. No consiquences at all. She cut my hours saying we were slow and wouldnt give them back. Even though the host i replaced worked full time everday, slow or not. they had a host. I belive it was retalitory because i voiced my opinion about what needed to imporve at that location. i even tried to become a supervisor so i could help out and make it better i have an extensive management background. I was told yes, but then it let to excuse after excuse of how come that couldn't happen. once my house went to and stayed at 12/week i found a new job. The assistant manager is trash for sure and lies so badly ... and the rm spent most of his time sleeping in his office and not doing much else. the rm knew about this and did nothing. all around the management just sucks there and has a lot of room for improvement.
