      Warning to Potential Employees

      Pros

      -Wide range of customers -On first or third shift you will have a fairly steady stream of customers -Most of the people you work with are nice, down-to-earth individuals.

      Cons

      In our area... -As a server working second shift you DON'T MAKE MINIMUM WAGE. When you are hired, you are informed that you will be compensated if your expected tips add up to less than minimum wage, but this is Not the case and trying to get the issue resolved is like pulling teeth. -Hours where there is not a single customer in the store. -If the previous shift leaves their side work unfinished (specifically dishes) you have to get that done before you can get started with your own work for the day and it can seriously put you behind.

      Pros

      Money, your the highest paid cook in town, company is still growing fast

      Cons

      your a cook, then after cooking from 7am -2pm your doing all the manager stuff. On call 24/7 except on your days off. You work your hardest on the holidays, no holidays off, these are the times you make the most money but the personal life will suffer.

      Management is not on your side-watch out.

      Pros

      The mix of customers is very eclectic. It's kind of a more relaxed place to work. The work is generally fun.

      Cons

      If you work third (night) shift, you may not make minimum wage because there aren't enough customers. Trying to get management to compensate for the lack of minimum wage is like pulling hen's teeth. They will lie to you and do what ever will benefit them.
