Pros

The environment is nice and it is easy to get an availability you want.

Cons

The time you close at is very unstable, although the store closes at 10 pm, the customers are allowed to remain past closeing. This means you will need to stay until necessary, some times this is 1 am.

Pros

The pay and people are the best part of the job. The tip out is pretty big, so most of us hosts have big checks at the end of the pay period. The schedules can be flexible as long as you put in your availability far enough in advance. They'll honestly hire anyone as long as they aren't late.

Cons

It was amazing at first, but by the end I was sobbing in the kitchen every shift. The managers will try and manipulate you and won't take your word for things. They won't listen to you if you try and tell them how you're feeling about certain things and will push you to your limit. They don't care about labor laws either. They will work you to the bone. The managers won't reply to your messages if they don't like something. They will not care about your wellbeing even if they see you sobbing. They'll tell you to get back to work. Different managers will tell you different things and they will change rules weekly. There is always something different whenever you go back. They will pick favorites and blatantly show it. They sometimes make fun of employees as well. Not to mention, they schedule way too many hosts every shift. There is no need for 4/5 hosts. The kitchen and bakery are cleaned every night but not very thoroughly. You will also never get a raise. People that have worked there for 1-2 years still have the base pay of $10/hour. They say they will promote people who work hard, but instead they promote people that don't work hard at all.
