Pros

The pay is pretty good for first year out of college student the higher you move up the pay increases significantly you can be off of work by 230 every day if everyone shows up on time you have to do something completely dumb to get fired 3 vacations per year

Cons

24hr 365 job even on your off days you work a 6-2 which is work 6 days then off two except holidays which is a 7-1 you work every holiday and i mean every holiday you still manage the store even when your not there and your off hiring people is harder then it looks and when you do the cream of the crop is not to creamy. upper management is generic all they care about is store profits regardless of how you have to get it. my store was robbed 3 times in 7 months. the security here is awful they want to write up everybody for everything pushing employees away and bad mouthing the company which makes it even harder to hire. upper management shows favoritism The pay plan constantly changes for the worse you are a highly paid cook!!!! you are in position to cook, serve and manage all at the same time while ordering trucks, controlling theft, and doing schedules and health inspection evaluations daily. all in all doooo not work here unless you have absolutely no life, no kids, no husband r wife, or no options

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.
