Pros

Regular hours, nice people, cheap food. Trendy environment. Casual dress code. Cute cheap clothes. I don't have any thing else to say

Cons

At the end of the day the owners control every single decision. There's a lot of talented people who do not get a chance express their talents because the owners shut it down. Several decisions are made through emotional reaction or gut instinct and not enough on statistical facts. Regardless of career level you're acting as a senior assistant to the owners. The daughters are now both running the company and only one is qualified to do so.

Pros

Pay was decent, managers were nice, & was scheduled to work every day

Cons

One of the cons was that if you had closing shift during peak season, you weren't allowed to go home until everything was organized (around 1 am)
