Pros

Flexible schedule. Learn how to serve and "up sell". Lot of fun and made great friends and relationships that will last a lifetime. Used to be a great atmosphere. Cash in hand every night.

Cons

Have to work nights and weekends. Management plays favorites. Attracts lower end clientele. Management made promises they couldn't keep. Cheap food for cheap people. Fire senior cooks to bring in new cooks at a lower cost.

Pros

Meet a lot of ppl daily Cash on hand at the end of the day make a little more than minmun wage I used to get all the hours I wanted due to them liking me, but could almost never get the days off I wanted due to not having enough hostesses. You get cash on hand the next day, epescially if it were a good day/night. That's probably about it.

Cons

managemant is very harsh and allows favortisim sometimes pay isn't worth all the physical work breaks were pretty much nonexistent You're on your feet all shift , breaks for hostesses are nonexistent. Sometimes yelled at by servers for no apparent reason. Hostess make less than minimun wage plus tip share.
