Pros

Great group of people. It feels like high school sometimes but mostly in good ways.

Cons

This location is way too big for the way DTF runs their restaurants. You will be worked to death. 20,000 steps in a 5 hour shift, I’ve done 30,000 in a 5 hour shift because they short staff us all the time. Managers play favorites. They also don’t communicate with each other. Fake af. They would ask for a double, let you work the whole shift, and then fire you right after on the spot. I am not joking. If you’re good at your job, you will be stuck in that position.
