Pros

Regular customers who care about employees as humans, not just as a servant to them

Cons

Working as a tipped employee gives you no financial stability, and now WH is implementing a new procedure where they enter your credit card tips, they are taxed, then paid weekly via paycheck. Let's be honest, we are servers because it gives us the ability to take our pay home everyday. I know most restaurants do this now, but I am not a fan of it, and I do not trust anyone other than myself to claim correct tip amounts for me.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
