Pros

If you are a performer, the money is great. The regular customers that you see on a daily basis. Some of the people that work for you.

Cons

The hours are ridiculous sometimes, especially if you have a poor manager in one of your units. Decisions are made at last minute timing. Communication on direction that Area is taking or needs to take to improve.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
