Pros

The other employees become like family, I got very close to everyone I worked with and it adds a lot to work morality. Hours specifically for host are amazing, very easy going job once you get it down. Requests are generally honored promptly.

Cons

Management staff is a bit ridiculous. Micromanaged extensively, politics cease any advancement almost to a complete stop. The money is on the lower side, servers tip out to hosts which are paid a servers pay plus tip share (3% of business sales) which very often adds to less than minimum wage. To go was also paid a servers wage plus tips, however the stigma rains fairly true; no one tips to go. Servers were crowded, even on workdays 13 servers would be on the clock, so money is not promised by any means.

Pros

The store level can be a really rewarding experience, I come to work and genuinely enjoy my job and coworkers.

Cons

Hovering corporate can be a headache. You don't have a say on which location you are sent to after training just a consideration of your location and commute. The bonus system is lacking with metrics that are hard to obtain and only quarterly. Raises are hardly cost of living wages and seniority isnt rewarded as new managers typically come in making as much if not more than senior managers.
