Pros

Coworkers were friendly and fun to work with, decent tips made on busy nights, casual uniform dress, employee food discount

Cons

Long hours with no breaks, unnecessary large amounts of side work, double shifts are very common and you;ll work to close to 40 hours a week with part time benefits. The Managers are nice, but not very helpful. They spend more time in the back of the house than they do in the front helping the servers run food.

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.
