Pros

Free food when the kitchen would mess up. And I honestly can't think of any other possible pros for this job.

Cons

Long hours, no breaks, terrible customers, unsanitary conditions, irresponsible managers, poor pay, no benefits, unreliable coworkers, favoritism of employees from management.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
