Pros

Like any restaurant job, the only pro is meeting cool people.

Cons

- YOU pay your own parking. $10 a day if you work 3 days, if more its $120 out of your paycheck a month to park in employee parking (and you will get moved to a much further parking structure during events like Restaurant Week or any holidays, so what are you even paying for?) - Hosts get the smallest percentage of POOLED tips. - Expectations of responsibilities are not reflected in pay - Horrible communication from other departments about events, Hosts are expected to know everything going on in the Eataly store and how it will effect restaurant service with minimal communication. Overall, just not worth it.

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
