      Pros

      Nice team. Overall, the managers will work with you.

      Cons

      Up-selling, your performance reviews based on up-sells. They expect you to sell alcohol even in the first shift. Never mind that you are on time every day and never call in sick, managers review employees based on up-sells. Also, the managers expect employees to push surveys so that they can get their bonuses.

      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.
