Pros

The only pros are your two days off a week!

Cons

The other five days a week. Area manager was a dictator with zero people skills. Everything was a competition with him. He would always have to prove that he was better than you and everyone else. The GM was puking her brains out one day and he refused to let her go home. The rest of the mgrs had to threaten to walk out unless he let her go home. I ended up walking out on him about a week later. The ownership condoned this fools behavior. So many quality, dedicated competent mgrs quit because of this fool.

OK place to work...

Pros

Most OPH locations have a very loyal customer base which means lots of familiar faces. Employee discount on meals. You work for tips so you're pretty much in control of how much you make.

Cons

Work-Life balance not the best, but all servers are aware of this. Some opportunity for growth, but again, its restaurant management which means long work hours and not the best pay. Limited training for those not already familiar with the restaurant business.
