Pros

The community and atmosphere was good. At my restaurant, they were extremely flexible with giving you time off when you needed it.

Cons

Complaining waitresses, sometimes not enough praise after you work hard or do a good job. The pay was minimum wage, but I guess that's kind of expected.

Pros

Was always fun place to work. Hours were god and great customers. Several locations so you could advance quick if willing to relocate

Cons

Food quality was not the best. Focus a little to much on numbers and not on the people. Sales were down.

Pros

Pretty typical restaurant job. It's the people you work with that will make it an enjoyable experience. Hard to say about all locations, but as a full-time server I make adequate money. It has also been flexible enough that I was able to work full-time while going to college full-time.

Cons

Management can be a bit narrow focused. Often concerned more about numbers and stats than the happiness of the staff.
