Pros

They provided me with a wealth of knowledge on the product that I sale now. The long shifts that were given to me on a daily basis taught me how to work productivily and efficiently. These same shifts caused me to realize how patient I can be with people.

Cons

Host has a plethora of downfalls, 1 being there is no upward mobility throughout the company. They have thousands of jobs throughout the world and only a few hundred are deemed fit for their employment. Their shifts are long and strenous, and they found a way to turn 40 hour work weeks into 80 hour work weeks. Ie you'll have to almost kill yourself in order to get pvertime pay and benefits. I was with host for 2 years and it took them that long to offer me full time pay and benefits. Their loyalty towards you goes as far you can see them. Host atleast the one here in Atlanta are spinless coward.

Pros

HMS Host is very flexible and is more then willing to work with your schedule and give you time off whenever needed or requested. The pay acquired for servers and bartenders is excellent but can vary drastically as with any server position.

Cons

The biggest downside of all is the competency of the management staff. They demand respect and complete compliance with what they say or do but provide none in return and give little trust to their staff. They over staff constantly, rarely send people home, and hardly ever aid or work with the staff. The management is poorly trained or poorly promoted with no incentives for others to want to be promoted.
