Pros
You will meet some nice people, but that's true of almost any industry job. Sure, there's discounts on food and if it's slow, you can play golf games for free...but that means having to spend your free/off time back at work. 🙁 The biggest PRO about working here is that you will learn the threshold of how much you can tolerate, and discover how lazy coworkers really can be.
Cons
All the "bad reviews" are telling the TRUTH. *The hours are ridiculously long. Way more than any other Restaurant/Bar. *Tips just aren't worth it. Avg Day shift (8/9 hrs) is $50, Avg Night shift (12+hrs) is $100. Friday and Saturday nights are the WORST!! Low class, Cheap guests come because they think it's like going to the Club...and let their bratty kids run all over. 😡 *TG forces you to work in extreme cold and extreme heat outdoors. The jackets they provide are poor quality and ill-fitting. It's Brutal. *They promote young, inexperienced, easily moldable people that look perky in yoga pants and overlook industry veterans- most of which have way more to offer. *They serve low quality slop for Family Meal and rush you to eat in a nasty, smelly, dirty, windowless locker room. No real breaks! *Small sections!! Better/Bigger sections are given based on who the Managers like (popularity contest!) Not who can actually handle more bays or effectively lead the floor. *All drink stations are a disaster after only an hour because no one picks up after themselves and the "shift leads" have no leadership skills. (See above) *Mgmt doesn't care when guests take up your bays for hours and order nothing, tip poorly,...and god forbid they are "ratchet" and complain about food, drinks, service, cost, etc...because the Mgmt will just roll over and comp their checks and give them free game time - so they take up your bays even longer...still don't tip AND you get in trouble with Mgmt. *Events pay terrible. Roughly $10/hr in event gratuity for having to do lots of running around, heavy lifting, set up/break down...and then you have to tip out your bar, food runner, etc from that!! Rarely will an Event Host tip extra. *Some Managers have inappropriate sexual relationships with Associates outside of work that creates favoritism at TG.
