Pros

The hiring and interview process was pretty fast, and the management was flexible to work with my schedule. Great position for both experienced and new servers or food staff.

Cons

The work environment itself was very negative and filled with drama the servers who had been working there the longest got the best sections which meant that if you were newly hired you were put in terrible sections with low support, and were unlikely to make any money by the end of the evening. Also having to tip out to food staff or bartenders when they made more than me.

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.
