Pros

Decent money is possible, good food, lots of shifts.

Cons

This place is terrible. I have worked in multiple service industry jobs with some of the most difficult people but this place takes the cake. The owner is an egotistical, micromanaging lunatic. He doesn't trust his management so he makes their lives a living hell and that stress is in turn dumped on the serving staff. He is condescending and belittling to his employees and insists on making irrelevant and arbitrary rules and constant changes to the menu, serving style, and employee expectations simply for the sake of displaying dominance over staff. Management is a joke, they're all too afraid of the owner to effectively manage anything, and this includes employee issues, of which they are dismissive and don't take seriously. Work life balance is non existent, and due to incredibly high turnover, management is constantly overworking servers to the point of burnout. For all this, the money is simply not there. For the location servers should be making far more than they do, but if the place were at least neutral to work at, it would be fine.

Pros

— Food you serve is good. — Guests are generally nice.

Cons

— Will beg you everyday to pick up more shifts then you come in and there is no reason for you to be there. — System is setup to favor the restaurant, not the server. Server spend more time doing side work than serving tables. — 3 table section max. Those tables might only be 2 top tables… — Management has verbally threatened every server to put them in 2 table sections if they don’t do more side work, but the side work not done was also not assigned to anyone so it’s really managements fault. — Management doesn’t have a real training staff and when you show up to work you might just be training someone without notice. Even if you are still a recent hire. — Only benefit of training is a free meal, no additional compensation and you cannot say you do not want to be a trainer. It’s expected. — Management doesn’t track openers or closers and blindly assigns them. You might close 3 nights in a row while others don’t close at all. — Closer has no benefits. No extra tables, just more side work and responsibilities. — Feeling financially underwhelmed for how much effort you put into the shift. — No auto-grat on large parties.
