Same S*@T, Different Restaurant - Server Water Grill Employee Review

Pros

I've been working here for a few years now. Even when it is slow, we are busier than most restaurants. PPA is typically pretty high the money is consistent and good. There are a lot of servers - most are pretty cool - and it is always easy to get shifts covered/swapped.

Cons

There is a lot of side work and shifts are longer than most restaurants (but see above that $$ is good, so you take with good with the bad). The support staff isn't the best, but they're improving. Some of the managers are lazy and don't do anything.
