Pros

I have worked there for several years and it the best run company of the handful that I have worked for. The VP and Owner have great vision for where the company is going and have used that vision to almost quadruple their revenue in the last 7 years. The people are great to work with and everyone gets along pretty well. You are allowed to do your job with no one hovering over you and looking over your shoulder. If you need help with anything, that is always available. after 7 years you get 3 weeks of vacation and 1 week of sick leave, which is better than almost any other company I have been a part of.

Cons

Not a ton of moral boosting things for the staff. The lack of attention can sometimes lead to complacency or sloppiness in work.

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.
