Pros

Great job if your a college student because the schedule is so flexible but the managers will need to see proof or a class schedule if you need to request a change in your set schedule.

Cons

Hmmm. Where do I start? First off. The only way you will make great money at this location is if your a bartender, banquet server or maybe a headwait server. Otherwise, your doomed once tip pool eats up all your days earnings. The management team will always get on the staff about how to do their jobs correctly when in reality the managers don't do their jobs correctly either and they will try to get smart or take it to "higher" management if you give them a little criticism. It's like force feeding a child when dealing with them. The company as a whole are so money driven that they tend to forget that it's great employees that drives in most of their revenue but they still continue not to value their employees and that's what drives good workers out the door. Every week you will see new faces. Most of the clientele that this location drives in does not tip accordingly.

Pros

Very structured. Professional company, clear goals and good communication.

Cons

No room for growth. GM positions rarely open and the company isn't expanding. There is a program where you can become an "AGM" and qualify for better pay however the goals to achieve this don't seem realistic. We are told we can't give reviews to employees over a certain level "No one should be getting higher than a 3.5 on reviews, that's not realistic" Then told we need to achieve a 3.8 on OUR review to move forward. Clearly not going to happen. The schedule is brutal. We keep losing management due to long hours / late hours and weekends always working. They won't hire managers no matter how qualified without a college degree. So we get managers who are very unqualified with degrees that aren't relevant, while we have people who have experience and would be a great fit that we can't hire.
