Pros

For someone young looking to be a server it's a good start. They are be flexible and there always seems to plenty of shifts to work.

Cons

This company is under going many changes to change it's image from its hour to the food and it makes it difficult to focus on your job. Not to mention the interest of the server is dead last, especially when it comes to large parties. For instance a party of 10 could be coming in to dine and they'll seat 1 or 2 of the party without even knowing how long till the others arrive or a party a 15 will ask for 12 separate checks and we have to do it . Also they do not add gratuity for any reason and there are a lot of cheap people out there. There are countless times when servers get $5 on $150.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
