Pros

- Hostess' are tipped out so along with your weekly paycheck, you get your tips in cash once a week as well. - Great food

Cons

- Management claims they are "supportive" of college students, but would often expect you to be available when you have told them far in advance those are the days you have class or an exam - Don't have regard for their employees - Management seems to have no experience actually managing people - Worst management I have ever seen - Slowly began dreading going into work because management was always going to be nagging about something - If you have a question about something, management would usually talk down to you and demonstrate or explain how to do it in a mocking, childish manner as if you weren't competent enough to be told something like a mature adult - Saw many, many people fired and let go for ridiculous reasons. Some of their best employees that were with the company for years would be fired randomly from a small mistake. Basically their actions show they believe if you mess up, they will fire you at the beginning of your next shift rather than maybe talking about an issue and letting it be a warning and speak about termination if the issue repeated. - I would give them two stars because the money is good, but management is just that awful the money isn't even worth it. You could find another restaurant in Winter Park with comparable pay that actually has a respectable and efficient management team
