Pros

The managers were great MOST of the time. The menu always changed, this made us always try new food. OK job if you're a student, but nothing more.

Cons

Management was NEVER on the same page. Servers, bussers, expos and the kitchen NEVER had the necessary tools to run an effective service. The way this business is run, it seems more like a school club. Those are friends with management get promoted faster than those who have been there for a while. In addition, if you are going or planning to work here, it's all about who is the manager that day that you follow their rules. one day you may be following the procedures that the regional manager sets, but when the regional manager turns HIS back on the procedures there's not much you can do but stay quite or get written up for not following instructions. In short, this place is chaos.

Pros

You can definitely count on a stable income, if you're on the good side of management you will have a great team standing behind you, easy atmosphere to create your own regulars, short shifts, food is great.

Cons

Takes care of the guests way too much. Way too many discounts for the guest I.e. senior discount, safari, $7 off after only $25, buy one get one at lunch time, 2 for $20. Might as well work at Applebee's? With sales at $1000 before discounts, it broke my heart see a whopping $625 after discounts, yet I can only get 50% off my select food items (chix entrees and burgers) if I ate at the restaurant and only 25% on my day off. No discount on Togo. Ever think I don't want to be in the restaurant anymore than I already am!? Turn over rate is very high, which creates the high labor because we have to slowly cut the floor to now over whelm new servers. Long story short, elephant bar tries to act like a high end restaurant but is barely a step up from Applebee's. -__-
