Pros

The pros are difficult to say really. We do have bonuses sometimes. I get to eat for free as a Manger. I do get paid on time every pay check so far.

Cons

Long hours without any extra benefits. The budget for labor is so low for our sales that we must work ourselves and the employees in multiple stations to make it. Bonuses are not common. The concept has so many specials that it attracts mostly guests looking for a deal and do not tip thier servers. These factors make it very difficult to keep good staff in front or back or even managers for that matter .

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
