Pros

Free meal everyday, great co workers and supervision who are underpaid. Decent schedule if you say so.

Cons

First few paid periods are a check which you won’t find out till you start. Was told the position was for full time but was given part time. 30 min unpaid break but there’s never a moment to take 15min paid breaks because you’re always given something to do on down time. Onboarding was a mess, mgmt in other store were unaware of orientation day at their store. It’s once again another production machine that makes believe you can grow there but every employee there just looks sad and drained. Granted the company’s net worth is 200 million and took a hit because well we know why (look it up). I just can’t fathom how you expect employees to come in and hit the ground rolling when your structure is completely imbalanced and all over the place.

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
