Pros

Long lunch break that is paid.

Cons

I’ve been in the bar/restaurant industry for 15 years, this is Amateur hour at best. No one has worked in the bar/restaurant industry before. No one knows what they’re doing. TONS of bullying, and even bullying by management. They tell you you’ll make 18-22 an hour, but don’t tell you they make you train for 3 weeks at 14$ an hour after taxes. You aren’t actually a server, you serve one day a week, you’re a dishwasher one day a week, you’re a prep cook one day a week, you host one day a week, and if you’re lucky and the staff doesn’t bully you into other jobs, you might get to bartend. They make you wear uniforms but only provide one outfit. I worked 4 days a week and they gave me one shirt, one vest with missing buttons, and I never even got pants. I worked there for a month. It was horrible. The job is a joke, save your money/mental health and work anywhere else in Asheville.
