Pros

Weekly Pay Can make good money during the holiday seasons

Cons

Having to do dishes while serving instead of having a dedicated dish washer Second shift takes the brunt of the side work but other shifts have expected side work as well that can be a pain after serving for eight hours Managers tend to hire anyone, so unfortunetly many coworkers are unreliable which adds to the stress of the job You're expected to multitask different tasks like doing dishes while calling out orders.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
