Pros

Money. A couple of the regulars would make your day.

Cons

Management. Rude servers. Ridiculous rules and standards. One minute there is a rule you can't do X, the next day it's gone or only certain people have to follow it because management CLEARLY plays favorites. Those favorites are typically long time servers who bully the rest of the staff to the point of being verbally abusive. The coaches don't have your back. They constantly mess up the schedule and are on power trips like you would never believe. They show zero respect for their employees. They treat servers like children who can't be trusted to do anything despite apparently "being the best in the industry." Would allow kitchen free meals but god forbid a service so much as took a piece of bread. The company makes an entire menu everyday to taste test, takes one bite and throws it away. Yeah. That's right. A 14 oz ribeye is made, one bite is eaten, and it will be thrown away. They won't offer it to their employees. Side work is ridiculous. I just can't say enough about what an awful company this is.

Pros

Food Allowance per quarter Lots of support

Cons

Must take 1 week of vacation at a time, cannot take a day here or there, Monday to Sunday work week, so getting Saturday/Sunday off together was next to impossible unless you wanted to work more than 7 days in a row. Work 95% of weekends
