Pros

Co workers were fun to be around. The schedule was very flexible and the tips were great. the relaxed environment made it easier for the day to go buy.

Cons

Customers can be very mean and treat you like you are beneath them. The side work and closing activities could seem tedious especially when you have made plans.Other tasks are kitchen maintance, the fact we make our own salads (I am not hired on as a cook!) and the ever tedious "front and back of house." These people act as shift managers and have to check all the other servers work before they get to leave. I usually stay for several hours cleaning the store and getting everything done (I am not making any money off of tables)

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
