Lots of drama, but worth it.

Pros

Fun, fast paced, and rewarding environment! Half-priced buffet meal on the day of work. Meet and serve some wonderful people.

Cons

A lot of drama and arguing over the good sections. Extra work that take away from serving the guests that should be kitchen and front line jobs.

Pros

Constant change to provide our customers with different menu items and superb service. Regulars who look foward to seeing you and rely on your customized customer service. Compassionate Managers who understand issues you may be having in and out of work. Great pay and flexible hours. Teamwork and helpfulness of other crewmates.

Cons

Minimal breaks. No free meals you have to pay 50 percent during break for a meal and if your break is during dinner that means you are paying 8.00 for a plate of food. Depending on crewmates also means you have to pick up their slack. This means that if the crewmate before you did not finish their production you have to finish it plus your usual. It is really hard to speak to a manager during shifts because they are almost always too busy or near impossible to locate.
