Pros

I've been working for OPH since 2009. The owner and managers are a great team and truly build a sense of community and family among the entire crew. OPH is truly a fun and upbeat place to work and dine.

Cons

Eating too many pancakes. Seriously. Health insurance benefits are not currently offered from the St. Louis franchise.

Pros

-Got to meet a lot of new people that I really loved talking to, especially the customers who would come in everyday -Food is free if not heavily discounted -Most of the people I worked with were nice

Cons

-People were getting fired simply because a boss didn't like them -I was hired as a host but I had to do other jobs as well like answer calls, take cash, and pack to go even though they had two cashiers who's duties were those -I was the only host available in a 8 hour shift for the whole restaurant

Pros

Their food was good and the co-workers are what make it fun to work there.

Cons

I worked at the pancake house in edgewater, New Jersey which was located in Fort Lee before. I worked there for almost 4 years. We all made quick fast money, however the work environment that it turned into made everyone leave. He wanted to start charging us for things we broke, our mistakes (We are not perfect), and for meals customers did not like. However, it is AGAINST THE LAW to charge us for anything unless he pays us $7.25 an hour. He only pays us $2.15 an hour, but our checks were always $0. Although the food was good, customers started realizing. For example, one time a lady left the restaurant extremely angry because the owner cursed and yelled at one of my co-workers in the dining room. They also made us pay for our entire uniform (shirt, jeans, and shoes) they all had to be from a specific website, minus the jeans.
