The guests are awesome and the regulars treat employees well

Lots of politics. If you don’t kiss up to higher management then you won’t move up.

Overworked and Underpaid

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The food here is actually good and is probably the only saving grace to working here

Cons

Overworked, underpaid, lots of workplace drama, sexual harassment happens and you don't get a very good discount on shift meals so you'll pay what you made that day to eat on a break if you get the chance. Managers often weren't on the same page and would relay different messages to staff.
