Pros

Large amount of tips (usually around $4-5 an hour), very flexible with hours and availability

Cons

Unequal pay among employees of the same title, little to no training (I was never trained on line but was expected to work it and learn it by myself), unorganized

Management sucked

Pros

The other employees were very nice to work with.

Cons

I worked here for 2 years making minimum wage while new employees were making a lot more than me. They only offered me a 25 cent raise within that two years yet called me in almost everyday to pick up shifts at 5AM. The management was very strict and would send people from the corporate office over all the time. We were not allowed to have more than 1 piecing in each ear, they checked our socks and yes I got sent home for having a white border on the tip of my socks… “they were not a solid black”. You aren’t allowed to have any exposed tattoos or any facial piercings so if applying here be careful.

Pros

Thorough and engaging training (Baguette University). Encouraging and fast-paced work environment. Discounted employee meals. Comfortable and reasonable uniforms.

Cons

High managerial turnover in some locations. Employer does not provide non-slip shoes but requires them as part of uniform. Slight difference in corporate locations and franchise locations.
