Pros

I really dont have a ton of good to say about working for this company. the money was ok and my co workers were ok. the food was the best part about the whole job even though its terrible for you.

Cons

This is probably the worst company I've ever dealt with. The management sucked, the customers sucked it was not a pleasant place to work. Not only was the management bad it also favored the workers who brown nosed the most instead of helping the actual hard workers. There was lost of favoritism. I will never go back to work for this company again.

Pros

The hiring and interview process was pretty fast, and the management was flexible to work with my schedule. Great position for both experienced and new servers or food staff.

Cons

The work environment itself was very negative and filled with drama the servers who had been working there the longest got the best sections which meant that if you were newly hired you were put in terrible sections with low support, and were unlikely to make any money by the end of the evening. Also having to tip out to food staff or bartenders when they made more than me.
