Pros

Decent money, free food, entertainment from watching a divorced couple run a business like children, lots of hours because everyone quit without notice

Cons

Crazy bosses, Servers, host, bus, bartend, it is one of the hardest serving jobs I have ever had, yet we gave half our tips to the kitchen who constantly had a bad attitude, with the exception of Adan and Moonga, they are amazing people s. Won't hire bartenders because they are like "drug dealers". Watched 10 people walk out during shifts, yet I was fired after giving 30 day notice. Condisending, rude, neurotic terrible ownership. Fired me on my way to work over personal issues, not performance, then they ghosted me and I had to get police involved to get a letter of termination. Ownership looked at employees as basically slaves with no souls. I had zero bartending experience and my first manager got in trouble for having me come in an hour early for alcohol training, at my request. I was judged by looks and not performance. I promised never to walk out if they promised to not cut hours if I gave notice. Gave 30 day notice, they started cutting hours, citing my notice as part of reason, co-workers felt bad and gave me shifts, which upset ownership and they fired me in the most inhumane and unprofessional manor. 10 days before rent was due, while I was on a train coming to work, and the owner refused to let me speak to my manager and they acted like children. Which makes sense the owner didn't earn anything, had that whole place given to him and he should not even be in the industry. He tried giving unsolicited financial advice, crossed the line of employee/employer relationship egregiously and one of the owners is a blatant racist and treated colored employees like slaves.

Pros

Nothing literally cannot think of anything

Cons

they always under staff for a high volume restaurant they pool the very little tips you get and the kitchen gets a higher percent of tips than the servers who actually make the money the boss will not pay you on time he almost didn't pay me my first 2 weeks and I needed to beg him for my 50$ tips I made one night no one should have to do that he would've tried to get away with not paying me for 3 weeks until I said something the owner has a very weird vibe to him I got fired for not being passionate about being a waitress I will literally pay you if you can find one waiter or waitress that wakes up like Elle woods excited to do such degrading work don't work here you won't be able to pay rent its not worth it at all and its abusive to make a schedule that will make you not afford to live and barely scrape by believe me you deserve better than this gross horrible place
