Pros

-the other servers and server assistants are nice

Cons

-Schedule too many servers -Front and Back of House Side duties plus silverware -Will get yelled at for not running food, even thought you have to go greet a table in “45 seconds” according to their rules -management is all push overs let anything slide -they “pick out of a bowl” to have you food run, once a month, but they lie there is no bowl and they will make you do it twice -Pay checks are not a thing, it’s all on a “pay card” which you get charged a fee to use -The customers are excruciatingly awful -Anyone who complains get a free meal, therefore no tip is made -Tip out of server assistants but then have to find them to clean your table or make sweet tea… crazy! -All white uniforms, so stupid, makes your look dirty when someone accidentally spills something on you -I could go On and On, but the worst thing about it all, is you have 27 steps you have to follow, and still only walk out with $100-200, not worth it at all, feel like you would be better off at a chili’s or something *this place is way over priced and gross in the back, the dishes aren’t cleaned properly, and the silverware*

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.
