Pros

- It's easier to get hired (due to high turnover). - If you are good and a hard worker, I have seen people earn promotions.

Cons

- The company expects you to learn new training online off the clock. - Very steep tip out and tip out is based on the subtotal of the bill, not the tip given, so if the tip is around 10% or less, you make no money or lose money on that check. - In my experience, they overhired and now have us all fighting for shifts. - They continue adding more responsibilities/risks to servers while expecting the servers to be faster and happier to work.

Pros

You can make good money once you build your own routine and build a relationship with regular customers.

Cons

The clientele can be very impatient, obnoxious and entitled, and it is not the healthiest work environment which adds to the stress. It can also be very unorganized and frustrating to be around.
