Pros

Management is nice, understanding, and friendly. They are easy to talk to and will listen to your concerns.

Cons

Management is often too friendly and forgiving. Some people were able to get away with anything. No one was held responsible for mistakes which led to a pretty disorganized work environment.

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
