Pros

The Managers were usually great

Cons

Pay is just so awful. You only get paid your tips, except you have to tip out so many people. I know I was an excellent server but there were plenty of nights I would leave with only $40. They need to pay their employees hourly or pay their other employees list hostess so we don’t have to tip them out. The system felt unfair.

Pros

The store level can be a really rewarding experience, I come to work and genuinely enjoy my job and coworkers.

Cons

Hovering corporate can be a headache. You don't have a say on which location you are sent to after training just a consideration of your location and commute. The bonus system is lacking with metrics that are hard to obtain and only quarterly. Raises are hardly cost of living wages and seniority isnt rewarded as new managers typically come in making as much if not more than senior managers.
