Pros

Half off food, not strict regarding nails

Cons

Monkey Joe’s is a money hungry establishment. There are absolutely no benefits and the pay is so low. Management has no sense of professionalism. The breaks are so short and you get no hours. If you’re considering working here, then don’t. Let this be your warning that Monkey Joe’s is a shady establishment.
