Pros

Transfers are welcome and common pending work performance and availability. They offer decent tiered medical, dental and vision benefits and you can qualify for those even while working part time. If you're looking to make a lateral or upward move at Eataly, pending performance of course, the opportunities are always there. Time off was almost never denied

Cons

Internally, not a ton of cons I can think of. The managers are over scheduled and spread too thin, so they're basically non-existent on many shifts. They were always trying to recruit internally for managers but with the servers making what they made with a flexible schedule, why would we want a pay cut for more hours and responsibility? As a server, I worked many nights and weekends, but we closed at a decent hour which enabled me to live a normal life.

Pros

Amazing managers who listen and care for their employees

Cons

None! Best job I’ve had and would work there 100% hands down if I still lived in the city. It gets insanely busy but it comes with the territory

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
