Pros

Casual dress...sometimes a little too casual. Good bonus program..

Cons

Has a "cult-like" culture. Very much the "old-boys network" running things. Talks about being a "family-oriented" company, but they are not. They talk about wanting their employees to have the "work-life balance", but if you leave when you're scheduled to leave, management looks down on this.

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.
