Great management Pretty flexible with schedule Pretty positive work environment Manager is a great guy.

Cons

At times tips not too good but when it is good, it’s good Picking up lazy employees leftovers … but that’s not on the company it’s just on certain lazy people.

Incredibly exploitive

Pros

Fun co-workers occasionally, get to spend time in your own car listening to what you want. They talk a big game about how they treat their employees Unfortunately it's not true

Cons

If you work hard you get rewarded by doing other people's work too, very exploitive business practices, including deducting your tips from your pay reducing your actual paycheck as if your tips are your wage, oftentimes refuse to acknowledge satisfactory or good work, oftentimes does not discipline poor work ethic or behaviors, often chastises employees who follow rules and report the bad and rule breaking coworkers. They promise PTO and holiday leave and other such things that they never actually give to employees who are not solely the general manager, regular employees don't get time off and if you dare to call out because you have a family member in the hospital they will bully in chastise you including but not limited to trying to cut your pay without your consent.
