Pros

Busy restaurant so tips are decent, easy work, day shifts only so you have the rest of the day to enjoy, free meal before shift, best benefits I have seen for waiters (they offer very affordable health & dental and free $25,000 life insurance)

Cons

Shifts are long and you have to be up so early you're too tired to do anything the rest of the day, the free meal before work is very small; you all have to share what the kitchen has made, there's really no teamwork, some coworkers are really nice and some are not so nice, everyone seems to have a short fuse

Pros

Super viral on social media. long term structure

Cons

The role was not what was presented during the interview process, and expectations changed almost immediately after starting. I was quickly given a much heavier workload than what had been discussed, which made the position feel misleading from day one. Management was split 50/50 where one side was solid but the other also lacked control over basic operations, which created constant inconsistency. There were effectively two different ways of doing the same task (Management’s way and the servers’ way) and standards were enforced 1/2 the time. Since staff often ignored direction without consequence. This led to confusion, uneven workloads, and a frustrating work environment where accountability depended on who you were. There also seemed to be clear favoritism toward certain servers. On top of that, management could be dismissive and unprofessional, including belittling comments, threats of firing or silent treatment. Overall, the workplace felt disorganized, unfair, and wayyy more chaotic than what was initially promised.
