Pros

Since the food is expensive the tips tend to be really good. Leave with money in your pocket every shift. Can make up to $200 a day if you really work for it and are not lazy.

Cons

Very little hours. Very strict rules every server has to abide by.

Pros

When I worked there around 2000 I was able to contribute to profit sharing. I worked there in 2 stints over the course 4 years. The last year I worked there I wasn't on the schedule and I would just come in and pick up a shift from whomever wanted to go home early. When I finally left my profit sharing check was almost a $1000 which was awesome. At this time, it was Darden restaurants. The side work was minimal, the alley coordinator or expo handled all the line duties for salad bar, etc. We did not have to tip out. We were like one big family there. We worked and partied together and I have life long friends from my experience serving there.

Cons

We did not have bussers so we had to bus our on tables which interferred with the quality of service at times. People getting obsessed with cheddar baked biscuits lmao..
