Pros

The people who work at OG are really great and fun to work with. It's also a great experience to work with people so much and learn how to provide excellent customer satisfaction.

Cons

Some days are worse than others. Occasionally you get that one angry customer that just hates everything and takes it all out on you. These people need to take a chill pill. Often people don't realize your paycheck is basically all tips so leaving a dollar is really unfair. Definitely try to work nights which is when you'll make the most money!

Pros

Stability of a large corporation, benefits offered, you know the company isn't going anywhere, constantly opening new restaurants everywhere.

Cons

Management drinks the company kool-aid, no room for individuality, very strict rules as far as what you can and cannot do.
