Pros
Good coworkers, typical king west crowd.
Cons
Bar from Vancouver, thinks they can run things the same in Toronto on King West. Hard to move up in the company, if you're hired assume you'll be that position. Very Very Very much so a CULT environment, if you're in the in-squad you can pretty much show up drunk, do drugs on shifts, steal money from tills, miss shifts.... no complaints. If you're not so lucky to be in the in-squad good luck. Very new pub, not equipped to run as a club but still does. A lot of technical problems always (ex: running out of glassware, no actual dance floor, running out of alcohol, not enough staff, not equipped to support coat check, etc) Training is very lacking, only after 8 months received a training package, half of the employees are just thrown into a shift. Has fired tons and tons of employees on the spot, for miscellaneous personal reasons. Very shady, will take away shifts and force you to quit instead of firing you (I have seen this happen over 10 times) . For the most part, especially management and half of the servers/ Bartenders, very fake people, non one would take a bullet for you but all vouch they're your best friends. If you're cutthroat, only want to come in to work and don't care about coworkers or really running things fairly... this is the place for you. For a lot of the senior management, including the highest up general manager, have never worked in a restaurant environment before. If you want somewhere that's organized, with room to improve, and experienced management this is not the place for you. Oh yeah, you'll probably be on minimum wage with a very mediocre tipout every 2 weeks instead of 1.
