Pros

The Minnetonka Famous Dave's is a great place for student and young people to work. The management team is very flexible with working around personal obligations and goals. Many of my fellow team members have worked at this location for 10 or more years which proves that it is also a long term option for some people. This store runs a great catering service which is just another way for its employees to make quick but good money.

Cons

Without a college education there are few opportunities for advancement when working in the restaurant. Also, during the slow seasons, shifts can become scarce.

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
