Pros

Money can be really good and most of the staff is like a family.

Cons

Management definitely has favorites and it's usually the people that put in the least amount of effort. So while the rest of us are working very hard and getting nothing for it. Their favorites are doing the bare minimum (and sometimes things that they should be fired for) and are constantly rewarded for it. Owner cares very little about his staff.

Pros

Calm and manageable atmosphere with well trained coworkers, can get hang of job pretty easily.

Cons

The worst management out of any job I've worked thus far, especially at the Katy location. Wanted to cry at times and wanted to quit multiple times. Two other servers had quit prior because of the same reason thought it was just a fluke of a story but held up to be painfully true.
