      Pros

      -The money can be good when it is busy. -Have met some great people. -My management (all but one) and GM are easily approachable. -Discounted meals offered around scheduled shifts. -Contest to win gift cards and stuff are often to encourage alcohol sales. -A lot of training shifts to begin, this is good and allows you to get to know the entire menu...that is until it changes every other month.

      Cons

      -Giving 2% of your sales to the bar/host even when they don't deserve it, the host not helping clean tables or skipping seating you; the bartender more interested in making their own money off tables or talking to their friends than making your guests' drinks...annoying! -Sweeping carpet...you will learn to get better at this :( -comps/voids highly frowned upon, even if it is the guest not liking, changing mind, etc...this can affect how often you are scheduled.
