Pros

The do try to work with your schedule

Cons

Sometimes we are working with the bare minimum, including staff, and product but we get it done. Also clientele is not great, we often get stiffed or get 5 bucks on over $100 dollar tabs. And they refuse to do automatic gratuity even though we have to tip out based on our sales.
