Pros

Management is really good at working around your schedule. It is fairly easy to pick up shifts and give them away.

Cons

Sometimes you do not get the best guests in, just like every other place. Morning shifts are hard to make money. Co-workers, especially the young ones, are not very mature.

Pros

Most of the people were great to work with were awesome. Most of the managers were fair and treated all employees with respect, MOST OF THE TIME.

Cons

I worked there for 3 years. I was hired right after they changed the policy for vacation/anniversary pay and missed out on all 3 years. I also disliked that they mandated every single Sunday, but some people that started after me were able to get Sundays off. It was started off as a great place to work, then as time went by the management became more strict on the rules and it became less fun. Toward the end I dreaded showing up to go into work. I probably would be going on 4 years right now if it circumstances were a little different.
