Pros

Discounted food. Can usually find someone to cover shifts.

Cons

Horrible, incompetent management. "High-school" setting in which favorites are chosen and cliques are made. Laughable compensation and possibly illegal "tip-share" You will end up doing unrelated work (such as dishwashing) because they are too cheap to hire workers.

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.
