Pros

Learned a lot about tending bar. Training and certifications provided. Tips, busy shifts, discount on meals. No other "pros" to report.

Cons

Long hours. 10-12+ hours on your feet. Never knowing how long your shift will be. Working with coworkers that have little to no responsibility to do their job or even come to work. Terrible management. Several instances where management and coworkers were involved. Favoritism. Drug use and foul verbal language spoken by management to employees. Relentless stress and responsibilities without adequate pay. Working in frigid below freezing temperature when doing weekly inventory. Foul and disgusting unsanitary conditions when closing. Snowball effect from upper management. No raises or pay increases when paid hourly.

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.
