too many or too few hours good pay inc tips, managers can be rude and passive aggressive, harassment isn’t dealt with, payroll department is a mess, nice team, expected to clean toilets.

work environment is good management needs more work. friendly staff, fast paced when busy. good starter for a restaurant experience. There's always room for growth.

Very fast paced and a lot to remember. Often short staffed. The team we did have were a fun and diverse bunch. I was able to do a lot of training within the company ie, manager training, cash handling, first aid

The company has a lot of potential. Used to enjoy the work place a lot more, now with new ownership company seems to care less about their employeesLots of opportunities for growth. Would recommend for people newer to the industry.
