Pros

weekly pay pays higher than most companies insurance; 401k; paid vacation/holidays free lunch allowance each shift

Cons

the management for this company freaky sucks. they don't try to work with your schedule, even if you call in sick and bring a doctors note it still counts against you which can cause you to get a write up! managers talk bad about some employees. might as well forget your life because you cant have one working for this company!

Pros

Free meal every shift, solid pay and tips.

Cons

There was one coworker in particular who was terrible. Management did nothing about this person. Me being the adult tried to handle the situation but this person kept pushing my buttons. They were clearly trying to start drama and I wasn’t having it. To this day this was probably one of the worst people I’ve worked with in my life. Crab in a bucket mentality at its finest. Incredibly immature, just awful to be around and brought others down around them. It was a mix of jealousy and insecurity. The thing is a boss needs to handle that and they didn’t. So I quit, I wasn’t going to stay in a place around someone so awful if the boss couldn’t rein them in.
