Pros

A casual environment with great hours for somebody in school or with another occupation. The pay, when tip share is factored in, can be very good, ranging from $9-$14 depending on how busy the restaurant is on any particular shift. m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m

Cons

As with any restaurant, the environment can be stressful and disorganized at time, and dealing with guests can be tiring.

Pros

The managers are for the most part fun to work with. Staff is really good you can have fun at work. compensation is good especially for those people who are in college right now.

Cons

Managers arent always willing to listen to your needs. hours can be long and sometimes managers show favoritism to certain employee's. at times the management team is not always on the same page and sendsmixed signal's to employee's which makes it difficult for employee's to follow their lead. Some co-workers are very clique orientated and if you do not fit in immediately, chances are you wont fit in at all.

Pros

The food. The place is kept clean. The decor is nice. there really aren't too many nice things about the place. Maybe if I was treated a little bit nicer I'd have alot more things to say.

Cons

being judged personally, being harassed by the co-workers and then told you're the one causing problems when you try to stand up for yourself. working hard and doing all the right things and not getting the recognition for it. I didn't miss a day of work, and the manager made up some excuse to get me out of there. I guess flirting would have helped.
