Pros

There is nothing good about the job or the management at all.

Cons

Everything, there is absolutely nothing redeeming about working there. I can’t even go in that building anymore. Prepare to not be allowed to eat or sit while you work open to close 11-1am, no food or breaks nothing. The atmosphere is toxic and feels like you are back in high school. The only times you can have “fun” is if you have favoritism from one of the managers. Also if you don’t have it then prepare to get terrible sections as a server and as host or even server you will get terrible shifts and you will get blamed for everything and anything that your “teammates “ did. Also unless you pay your coworkers ,you will never get a shift covered. Even if you have a college final that was requested 3 months in advance. You couldn’t pay me enough to go back in. My first shift was a Sunday brunch, the brunch that cause for there to be a cop posted next to the host stand on following Sundays.(i don’t know if they still have a cop show up on Sundays or if they stopped that) . There are way to many things following that to list with no redeeming qualities.

Pros

Pays higher then most restaurants because they require you service 24/7.

Cons

You will suffer PTSD because of this place. They make any easy task so difficult and will never be satisfied with any progress.

Pros

It’s a slow burn. Great in the beginning, and then if you don’t play by their rules, it doesn’t bode well for you. Overall, not a bad gig. They pay well but don’t hesitate to demand more and more from you.

Cons

Antiquated way of coaching and developing people. The “Gordon Ramsay” college is dead. Get with the times folks. It’s ok to expect more of your people, but treat them with respect. There is no work/life balance if you want to move up. Unless you’re a snitch. In which case, you’ll go far.
