Pros

The culture was very cozy and friendly. You had access to seasoned employees...people work there forever. I loved my department.

Cons

Low salary; even though I had a Master's degree in the field I was working in, my salary did not reflect any additional education. My annual raise was $.50. They are behind the times in regards to technology and if you work there too long you can date yourself and not be able to obtain a position at a more advanced company. Lots of paper not automated.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
