Pros

Peers are good-hearted people. Somewhat flexible work schedule. Provides exceptional equipment and tools for employees.

Cons

Amateur executive management. Follows a management resource textbook because the executive team lacks overall experience. Demonstrated lack of care for overall employee well-being or growth. Dishonest management tactics, including deceptive communication to clients. All employees, except for the lucky ones in sales, are subject to extreme scrutiny including minor or mundane infractions. Interdepartmental politics and favoritism. A misleading attitude toward employees' work performance by management. An employee may follow the incorrect instructions for a long time without proper correction, only to be arbitrarily punished by management at any given moment. General lack of communication and transparency by upper management. Human resources does not work in best interest of employees and may even work to have an employee terminated without just cause. CEO projects that company will have vast growth without providing anything of substance to back this up.

Pros

The team at Avalon Hollywood is really great to work with — everyone is supportive, fun, and creates a positive environment behind the bar. The scheduling is very flexible, which makes it easy to balance work with school or other jobs, and it’s never difficult to get a shift covered if something comes up. Management is also very friendly and approachable, which makes the overall work experience much less stressful and more enjoyable.

Cons

Sometimes there can be favoritism when it comes to scheduling, and if you upset management you might get placed at a less profitable bar as a form of punishment. During special events, the pay doesn’t always match the extra effort required, which can be frustrating. The hours are very late, which isn’t for everyone, although the shifts themselves usually aren’t that long.
