Pros

Steady hours, I worked nights. Easy cooking job, half the menu is just microwaving portioned food and throwing it on a skillet or plate. Fun working with all the other employees. Team environment. It was all about getting through the rush each shift and then just cleaning up.

Cons

Lazy managers that are concerned with meeting quotas. Which translates to cutting the crew down to one person but then not helping when that one person suddenly gets slammed with a bunch of late night tickets. Then, one hour later, manager asks why it took 20 minutes to get table so-n-so out....huh%$#

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.
