Pros

Amazing friendships, plenty of hours to be given, management was excellent, made me feel at home, would go back to work for them, great opportunity to make money, gave me a chance without experience

Cons

Management played favorites, hard to grow if not a favorite, penalized people for doing a good job at their tables by making them put down their trays to run food too much.

Great Company, bad location

Pros

by far the best restaurant company I have worked for. Chris Gordon is also the best GM, and the rest of the management team are not only wonderful, they are just nice human beings. Flexible schedules, time off whenever you need it and they don't act like you owe them a favor for going on a vacation. Im almost out of the restaurant industry and I'm happy I will be leaving with a positive experience,

Cons

LOCATION...Now you would think because you are directly across the street from the convention center that this place is a money pit. it is not. Of course there are times (PAX,Comicon,Wedding show, etc.) when you make awesome money with certain conventions, but this place is a TOTAL TOURIST TRAP with NO AUTOMATIC GRATUITY. that should say it all. keep in mind the Canadian border is also just hours away. 80% Foreign guests with no automatic gratuity is just cruel, especially in a restaurant thats built for large parties. On the other hand, the constant disappointment with our guest was actually my motivation for going back to school, so thank you for that.
