Pros

You can pick up and give away shifts as much as you please.

Cons

Managers are rude and EXTREMELY immature. They play obvious favorites and if you're not one of them, don't expect any sort of employee equality. Doesn't matter how hard you work, what you do for guest(s), if you're not a favorite only the negative things you do Will be pointed out. This restaurant is like highschool: drama, drama, and more drama. If you're not in their clique, don't expect anyone to give a lending hand. Just expect them to talk crap about you behind your back. Most are also very lazy and want everyone else to do their job while they get the pay for it. If you're a host, you will be expected to bus tables all shift long for the servers, occasionally food run, and get absolutely NO tip out and hardly ever a simple, "thank you". You will be expected to work anywhere from 8-13 hours, on your feet, on the go non stop, with no break to get food. I have never hated a job more than I have hated this one. Mind you, I have worked for restaurants in the past and really enjoyed it. When I quit this job, I felt like I got out of an abusive relationship.

Pros

Awesome atmosphere, for the most part managers are always on top of the problems and will always help you if there is any problems.

Cons

Happy Hour twice a day which means it doesn't bring in the best people. 4-6 9-close. Which means at 3:30 and 8:30 your tables and bar fills up with people waiting for the happy hour to start. All apps half off! Bills will be in the $20 to $30 range and they will leave u $5 if you're lucky.

Pros

The money was ok but only in certain seasons. Some of the people were cool.

Cons

This place has left me traumatized. Darden itself is a horrible company to work for.
