Pros

If you are a hostess you constantly get to do different things.

Cons

As a hostess sometimes waiters/waitresses do not clean up their tables or even if they do they leave them a mess. This becomes your job as does occasionally selling items in the store, and taking order. Management treats people who have worked their longer better then they treat new employees. Prepare to be bossed around by not only management but by seniority.

Pros

Great salary and benefits. Senior Mgmt very considerate. Great way to learn new selling techniques due to selling less than needed product. Many opportunities for career growth.

Cons

You rarely make your own merchandising decisions. Creativity is kept to a minimum. It's their way or the highway. They have a motto " One Best Way," if that paints a clear picture for you.
