Pros

Flexible schedules, room for advancement, can work a full time schedule, overtime is inconsistent but possible if the cards are played, most people don't realize that restaurants allow you to have life insurance, health insurance, dental, vision, and 401k. The 401k is matched for every 5% you put in, they contribute 3%.

Cons

nights and weekends must be worked, they're not mandatory, but if you plan on making money and advancing through raises and positions, figure out how.

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.
