Pros

The three vacations that are given.

Cons

No integrity in upper management. #1 RULE there Is just show up....Doesn't care how upper mgmt treats their employees. Loses great manager's due to lack of caring and dealing with the real problems.

Pros

The food is good and as long as the sun is out sometimes the people are too.

Cons

Terrible pay, awful customers at night from rude, to lascivious, to outright thieves. After all the bars close, there's an inevitable rush of the most boisterous, angry people you've ever seen. A lot of sandwiches, some of which get snatched by the "customers"

Pros

Good money, flexible hours, autonomy - meaning that if there is a problem at one of your tables you can decide what needs to be done to satisfy the customer without having to track down a manager. It can be nice that you are solely responsible for all of your tables’ needs and for everything in the restaurant from greeting customers to washing dishes and cleaning tables.

Cons

No leadership, don’t believe in teamwork, everything is designed for speed rather than customer service/satisfaction. While sales and profit are important, they have a tendency to sacrifice customer service for profit. They care more about getting a table in and out as quickly as possible than they do about making sure a customer has the type of experience that will ensure they return.
