Pros

Great tips depending on your service to customers. If you want to work in the restaurant business, this is definitely the place to learn the good and the bad.

Cons

No work/life balance, high turnover rate, terrible scheduling, no motivation amongst other servers. I feel at this point, there should be more organization with the scheduling. The way the managers treat the servers is very poor, seeing as though servers get paid the least, servers are the ones with the majority of the workload.

Pros

Flexible hours, growing rapidly, FUN environment, great staff members (coworkers and management), traveling to new locations, personal growth, and all the awesome discounts and benefits! Main Event has been a great job and now a career for me. The management staff has always had my best interest in mind and I couldn't be more grateful.

Cons

Learning how to transition into a nationwide company rather than just in the state of Texas has been a little rocky but nothing we can't fix.
