Pros

The people are fun to work with, it is a generally good atmosphere. You can make good money if you are willing to work hard and pick up tables.

Cons

The managers are incompetent sometimes. You are clearly only working there to pick up money for the short term. Some of the people you work with are losers.

Pros

It is a great restaurant. The food is wonderful and together with the employee discount it's great. The bar is excellent and they also have a wide selection of liquors. The employees are also great to work with.

Cons

We are almost always understaffed. During friday and saturday night, we would only have 3 cooks in the back. That's not enough.
