Pros

always someone new to deal with since mgr turnover is high-have gone through appx.20 of em in 8 yrs

Cons

confusing way of doing your job when every new mgr wants to "reinvent the wheel" even though "corporate" has a specific way to do it.New district mgr is a jerk-NO HR dept to call for employee rights

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
