Pros

Most coworkers are friendly Cool restaurant and access to gym and pool

Cons

No benefits whatsoever if you’re an hourly employee. Tips are either nothing or decent, no in-between. Hourly wage is $10 an hour for Baristas/Hosts which is nothing compared to other places in the area. Management is overbearing and unwilling to stand up to corporate’s stupid decisions. No breaks unless you work a double, no free food or drinks ever. Discounted food if you work but it’s 25% which is again - nothing. Understaffed and overworked employees, puts everyone in bad moods when busy. No insurance, no 401k, no PTO, no vacation, no nothing unless you’re salary (restaurant manager).

Pros

The other part-timers I worked with were nice.

Cons

The management is terrible, constantly walking out or getting fired, so there’s no real consistency. The management is consistently rude and makes errors since they’re always freshly hired. The last manager during my time there was terrible at his job and would consistently escalate situations with customers and the servers/baristas would have to take the fall. The place is a mess.
