As a barista potentially min 2 hour shifts if it’s quiet, coworkers are mostly wonderful, management are the typical hit and miss. Hosts and chefs often feeling unappreciated. Servers make excellent money but also don’t feel the support of management.
Great job as part time and mornings as a barista, easy work and fairly decent tip out. Mostly left to get on with your job which is nice and relaxed ! Not sure the same with other positions.

Working in Maxine’s was fun. The staff is very friendly, management is overall good with a couple ups and downs.
They are always hiring people and occasionally firing them within the 3 months period.

Overall a good place to work. Consistent money and mostly good customers and regulars. Management however, is a bit so, so and I wouldn't trust them.
