      Pros

      Make good money, 50% off food

      Cons

      Corporate asks servers to do embarrassing lines, for example since it's a neighborhood bar and grill we would asks them what there names were and most customers looked scared, they asks u to use "sizzle" words while dropping off food. For example instead of saying here are nachos they wanted you to say "here are your cheesy crunchy delicious nachos". Management gets so hardcore pressed by corporate that they will drop your schedule down to one shift a week because u messed up on a order. Food costs!!!!😯

      Pros

      It's fun working in a kitchen...? I really liked some of the servers and bartenders. RVP was great. He was good with employees and came to all the stores often.

      Cons

      Long hours, low pay, bad management, promised raises that never came even when I did what I was told was required to get them.

      Pros

      Good pay compared to other restaurants in the area. Managers strive to maintain a teamwork mentality. For the most part, the kitchen crew works as a team on the night shift. Managers will jump in and help cook when it's real busy. Good training and processes.

      Cons

      Long hours. Do not rely on your scheduled shift end time. Turn-around is terrible. It has been a struggle to keep good help in BOH and FOH.
