      Pros

      Decent hours during peak seasons.

      Cons

      Poor management. Kitchen always crashes. Slow peaks expect 1-3 days a week and not even many hours those days.

      Pros

      If you are a closer you can make great money. Great training program.

      Cons

      Depending on management they play favoritism by either who sucks up to management the most or who goes out with them after work. They overstaff like crazy so if you're not a favorite and you're usually cut first, you're lucky to get 2 tables. Then after being cut you have to do a certain amount of work delegated by the closers, which usually includes helping them run their food and rolling silverwear they use. They get more money for us doing their work which gets frustrating.
