Pros

The staff was for the most part pleasant as were our customers. Managers were okay, but not the best.

Cons

not much room for advancement, a lack of knowledge of where one employees job ended and the other began, and general lack of care about customers. Also, low pay for anyone who wasn't serving. Maybe this accounted for the lack of teamwork

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.
