Pros

If you devote your whole life to the job you can move up quickly. If there's a natural disaster or inclement weather they'll find a place to stay close to the unit for you to stay.

Cons

There's absolutely no work life balance. You're expected be on call 24/7. You work a 6 and 2 rotation and around holidays you work even more. You have to work every holiday. Upper management is not truly "qualified." It's just people who stayed through all the horrible times. There is absolutely no accountability and a lack of structure.

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.
