Pros
The environment and the relationship with the co workers that you build is very positive and welcoming.
Cons
-Hours are not guaranteed. -Hours can be cut at a moments notice without notice. (Ex. From 40 hrs cut down to 16 hrs) -Schedule posted days, or even the night before next shift causing you to wonder on a Friday night if you work Saturday morning depending on your availability. -Intense workload: -Bar-backs are responsible for: •keeping back rooms clean on all 3 floors •Stocking all 3 bars • Changing kegs •Doing dishes on all floors •Making batches •Prepping garnishes for the whole facility •Receiving load (kegs, liquor, facility materials, etc.) •Serving beers and wine when on a floor -Bartenders determine how much you get tipped. (If you are not present on the floor you were assigned on the schedule, despite responsibilities, you will get tipped less. They can also give you 4$ after a long day and count that as a tip) -Bartenders earn more tip percentage than bar backs on credit card tips -All these responsibilities are day to day. If you are quick on your feet, you can get it done. If you are not, you will drown and the attention will be on you
