Fun place to work, tip out was high, some management weren't very nice because they had worked there forever. The GM and most of the management however was incredible, easy to talk to about problems, flexible, great staff.

So many on call shifts. Servers would get called off regularly even in the summer. Literally a revolving door of employees coming and going. Once one employee orientation was over another would start immediately. Before you know you’re cut early for most shifts, and you only get 4 to 5 tables sections. Didn’t make as much as I should have during the summer. Layoffs start in August.

I would not recommend this company. They are only profit focused which makes it very difficult to go above and beyond for your tables. They do not care about their employees and will call you off every shift for weeks on end unless you are friends with the managers. You do not advance based on your skill or abilities but rather who you are friends with. Workplace bullying is very present at this establishment and nothing is ever done about it.
