Pros

Best coworkers ever. Our store has many employees that are still around from when we first opened. We have a great group of people that all get along very well and work even better together. Love the family atmosphere--both the restaurant's and the employees. We really feel like a family sometimes! Obviously the food is great. :) And we love our regulars. Also, as mentioned, very easy to get time off and change your schedule for school or another job.

Cons

Many of us have been with the company longer than any of our managers. Not enough tables in our sections (3-4), tip share can be a bit high on a good night, plus we tip out the silverware roller on the weekends and busy holidays. Not enough advancement, been there for years and only moved up once. Not enough Local Store Marketing. I know times are slow, but we are slower!!! I am not making enough money to pay my bills and several of my coworkers have a second job. At this point I am only staying for my friends (and the 30% discount!).

Pros

For the most part scheduling was pretty flexible. As long as you asked off in advance you normally were granted the request. Being in a tourist heavy town as well as a college town meant the restaurant stayed pretty steadily busy throughout the year.

Cons

My only complaint would be not being allowed to ask off any holidays. That being said, management was always as accommodating as possible in deciding who worked certain holidays.
