Pros

The pay is 7.50 and you have employees discount

Cons

No respect from other (Greek) employees, from managers or the owner. Everyone yelled at me constantly for the minimum mistake, even when nobody explained me the right way to do things. Everyone always speaks in Greek, that is kind of embarrassing when you have no idea of what they are talking about and you are the only one left out of the conversation. Pay always late. I was promised a full time job and at the end.I worked between 8-10 hours per week. The shifts were never clear and not displayed properly. In a 8 hours shift there are no breaks, except if you ask to go for a cigarette, and it couldn't be longer than 5 minutes. Inhumane expecially during Saturday nights.

Pros

I worked as a hostess at Opa in Walnut Creek and overall it was a really fun environment, especially for a first job in the restaurant industry. The team was friendly and the shifts went by quickly because it was always busy. It taught me a lot about multitasking, customer service, and staying organized during busy nights. The management team was generally supportive and the staff worked well together which made the job enjoyable.

Cons

Like most restaurant jobs, it can get very hectic during peak hours and weekends can be pretty intense.
