Pros

If you prove you're a hard worker then you can oftentimes get a good schedule. The amount of money you make is up to you. Several different managers so it gives you more opportunity to have one you get along with well. There was also room for upward movement. If you worked there for about a year and REALLY liked you, they'd move you to bar tending (A LOT more money), then supervising, then management.

Cons

Very restaurant politic-y. Some of the managers only paid attention to the girl servers who flirted with them, and if you didn't follow suit your schedule could suffer greatly.

Pros

Very busy. Constant flow of customers coming in.

Cons

Wild expectations for servers. Run your food and the food for the whole rest of the floor. Bus for the whole floor. Obtain customer reviews in their internal system - your job depends on this - but the system only works 15% of the time and most customers won’t do it.
