Not worth it

Pros

Money is great. It’s got to be one of the only breakfast places where you can make great money every morning shift of the week.

Cons

Poor upper management. There was a management change last year and a large majority of senior serving and bar tending staff left following it. Disrespect towards female staff members, choosing favorites, hiring servers who are lazy. A large majority of the money that’s available relies on everyone pulling their weight with running side work, which doesn’t happen. Ineffective or non existent communication. No benefits. Kitchen is in the basement so there is a ton of carrying heavy objects up and down stairs. Was a mouse infestation issue and had severe cleanliness issues which have hopefully been resolved.

They say "we are a family here" but they don't care for their workers at all.

Pros

Morning hours if you are a morning person. Kept a tight ship which held people accountable.

Cons

Management and owners will say "we are a family" but they really only care about profit. They didn't make me feel like I was valued and more so like someone they could replace in an instant. I also struggled to get hours because business was so bad and they played favorites which meant the same few people got all the hours each week and the left over hours were just crumbs for the rest of us.
