Great company, only a few issues

Pros

Training program is awesome. They seriously have it dialed in and are typically pretty good about who they decide to promote to a trainer. One of the best things about working here is that you can really be proud of what you're serving. The concept is great, prices are great, and pretty much everything is made from scratch and delicious. Best steak for the price, hands down. Great schedule flexibility, which is key for work-life balance. The work environment is really fun! Pretty much everyone gets along and management holds contests each night which keeps things interesting.

Cons

No benefits, which can be tough. It's pretty exhausting work, since you are pretty much on your feet and running around for at least 4-5 hours each night, more if you work a double. But you get used to it.

Pros

Casual dress...sometimes a little too casual. Good bonus program..

Cons

Has a "cult-like" culture. Very much the "old-boys network" running things. Talks about being a "family-oriented" company, but they are not. They talk about wanting their employees to have the "work-life balance", but if you leave when you're scheduled to leave, management looks down on this.

Unfair and don't care about their employees

Pros

Give people a lot of hours if they want them and most of the fellow servers are very nice and helpful.

Cons

I worked at the Gainesville Georgia location for a week as a trained server. This was my first server job and I was hopeful it would work out. On day 5 of being a server there they put me working my first evening shift on a Sunday night. The shift would have been fine if they hadn't gave me tables of 9, 7, 8, 6, 5 people at the same time. At one point I had a table of 9 and a table of 5 at the same time. I shouldn't have had a party table for maybe another month or at least 3 weeks. The next morning I called to turn in my resignation and informed them of the situation I was put in the night before and I got no apologies. They didn't Even Approach the situation. I would never work for a company who would to that to a new employee or any employee that was not prepared for the situation. I do not recommend working there.
