Pros

There was no pros to working here

Cons

Terrible management (all of them playing favoritism and power tripping) Inconsistent messages (all from management) When employee performance reviews came around, literally the highest you could score was meets expectations like the only way you could surpass them was by LIVING at DTF and making sure you had no other life It was a CULT Literally refused to believe anyone had lives outside of DTF Never accommodated my schedule requests even though I requested them MONTHS beforehand Did I mention the terrible management We didn’t even get free meals during shifts- we got two items 50% off- like they couldn’t afford giving employees a free meal???

Pros

Pay is great, you get what you put in. It's serving, so your pay comes from mostly your tips. The restaurant is high volume so you always have the opportunity to make decent money per shift. The restaurant pays minimum wage - so pay very tip based. They're always hiring - turnaround at the restaurant is crazy.

Cons

Management does not care about you - asked to work long hours. If you're not "full-time" you're still working full-time hours without benefits. Management is disrespectful towards servers, hostess, runners - definitely favoritism in the restaurant environment. Company culture is terrible: They use your pay against you, "you make good money, why are you complaining?" They make you feel like disposable, "if you don't want to do it we can find someone else." They don't appreciate you, "you should be thankful you have this job," and never the other way around. Very difficult to take time off, LIKE EXTREMELY, difficult. You're on your own to find your shifts covered, if you don't make it to your shift you're ridiculed for it.

Pros

The pay was decent and on time.

Cons

I had to work for six hours which allowed a thirty minute dinner break which they made me take before I began to work. This meant I got to work, clocked in then clocked back out to sit for thirty minutes, then clock in again to work a straight five and a half hours. If during our work time we got hungry or needed to sit for a minute, we would be reprimanded or even fired. By the end of the shift me and my fellow employees would have sharp pain in our legs and lower back, and often beyond hungry. I was also sexually harassed while working here and instead of helping, I was fired by management under the excuse that I was "too friendly". The only thing they did when I informed the managers about what was happening was that I should have someone else serve them when they came back. It was extremely hard to move positions and the management definitely plays favorites.
