Pros

This place is very fast paced and you must know how to keep up with things while keeping your cool. I think this is a great place to work at when you're young because it teaches you a lot about customer service and how to stay cool under pressure. The job is usually fun, but it has its days where you just want to leave. I would recommend working here. Management (my management anyways) was very flexible with school and understood that school was my priority. As long as you do what you're supposed to do (be nice, smile, run food, do running sidework, DANCE, etc.) management is pretty cool and will help you if you help them.

Cons

It's very difficult to move up the ladder. I was hired as a host then got promoted to a server, but it took months and months. It's frustrating when they hire outside rather than promoting people who have worked there for a year. If you're looking for benefits, this is in no way the best place to look.

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.
