Pros

Discounts make the food cheap happy hour networking with regulars, who offer you jobs good hourly wage , when you can actually get hours pretty easy to get a shift covered good snack food fun place to hang out

Cons

the hour cuts( meaning a half hour shift) the management is very hypocritical. some of the managers do not when to draw the line with profesionalism at the workplace they will not fire anyone, they will just not schedule them managers rules always seem to conflict managers full comp unhappy guest because of the hour cuts the place I work at is so mismanaged. I had to do things outside of my job description because other people were not doing their jobs employees all get along, but nobody ever helps each other out. turnover and overhiring managements incentive for a bonus if they keep hours low

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.
