Pros

At the Gull Road location you can meet coworkers that will be your friend for a long time, if you like workplace drama you'll probably hear plenty and so long as you stay out of it it can be interesting. Some days can be fairly relaxed, and the half off all food is pretty good.

Cons

Not giving any breaks to eat lunch so you're gonna finish insanely hungry, it's overall just pretty messy management-wise, and worst of all, the majority of customers are just wow, the worst customers you will meet. Mostly very old grumpy people that think it's okay to talk to servers like they're robots or misbehaving dogs. It can get busy pretty fast, and actual holidays might as well be the underworld. Quite literally the most stressful job I've ever had, it's the only job I've had quite literal nightmares about.

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.
