      High Pressure, poor training for Server position

      Food server

      Pros

      The money was good, and the place was always busy. I was making $400 in tips Thursday through Sunday. Can't think of any other pros.

      Cons

      The training was insufficient. Not enough to train a server. The trainer had zero incentive for me to succeed, and it showed. Politics were nuts. I came off the street. Other folks, hosts for instance, had wanted to be servers for a while, so they didn't appreciate management selecting me over them.

      Great job when learning to interact with people

      Pros

      Tips are always good. Flexible schedule, can pick up shifts or give them away when you want. Always moving around and time flies as a result.

      Cons

      Always have to be present in your job to receive maximum tips. Around food all day, could be a good or bad thing. Pushed to upsell products from the menus all the time.
