Pros

*It's like a family, everyone is so kind & gets along. *Pay can range from $7-$10..so when it's high, it's a good feeling (only happens when you're the only host) *It's pretty easy, almost too easy actually.

Cons

*You don't have a set schedule. Some days you can work 2 hours or some days you could work 7. Sometimes you can work 3 days, and some 6. *Management pretends to care, but I actually don't see them on the floor a lot. *Tipouts depend on how busy the place is, which it's pretty bad when it's a slow season. *Servers treat you like slaves, expecting you to buss their table, when you only need to get the plates.
