Great DO for the market who really cares about the team and everyone in each restaurant.

Long hours. Going away from what made VT unique and special in the beginning. Not as fresh as we used to be. More canned items added.

Pros

The staff was very fun to work with.

Cons

Management was deceptive about pay. They claim it pays $17 an hour plus tips, but it's actually $7.25 an hour and then they take your tips and use them to make up the rest of the $17 per hour they claim to pay. Any leftover tips are then split equally amongst staff, but very rarely did that happen.
