Pros

-This location has a good crew. -This location is the busiest in the area. -As a whole, store level management is helpful and supportive. -Good happy hour and late night deals.

Cons

-Vice President lives in the area. Seems like a nice enough guy but not only does he not tip well, he doesn't tip decently and sometimes not at all. If you are in the industry, you should be supporting your fellows by tipping, especially if you are getting your dinner for free. It is difficult for me to respect a company that has a manager that doesn't tip. -The food in general is sub-par and difficult for me to get excited about. -If you want to make good money here as a server, you need to work late at night. This means getting off work at 11pm to 1am or later. -There are many bugs in the POS making it difficult to work with.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
