Pros

Flexibility in scheduling for part time workers.

Cons

Hourly is the same as servers and bartenders make all the drinks and don’t make servers tip out. Bartenders also have to hand wash all bar glasses. We do not have a dishwasher behind the bar. No trust in bartenders to know how to pour. You get in trouble if you don’t use jiggers. 3 drink rule makes you feel incompetent on knowing how much to serve our guests.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
