You get a 50% off meal but employee meal discount is invalid for most dishes. You can use your 50% for some cheap chicken littles or some cheaper worthless dishes like salad. No steak, no no no..
Cons
You are the busier, janitor, highchair carrier, stroller parker, etc. You work long hours and have to clean the bathroom and refill all the napkins. Also, no tips at all. You walk around all day to look for open tables. You are never at standstill unless you are the greeter which is not likely if you haven't worked long enough...like 5+ year.

I love that the people we employ are like minded and also hold a passion for excellence. It always make it feel that all are pulling their weight and are vested in the outcome. I have great pride in the work I produce as well as the company I work for. My supervisor appreciates and recognizes his people on a regular basis which makes the incredibly difficult days worth it.
Cons
The lack of communication between departments (primarily Development Dept) by not sharing critical information/dates in a timely manner causes everyone's jobs to be much more difficult than necessary. It also makes planning very challenging and valuable time expended on projects only to have to redo work that's already been done. I have heard several co workers (in other depts) express their frustration with the lack of communication between depts. We work for a large company with people who care but can often feel like the right hand doesn't always know what the left hand is doing. I understand that I'm expected to work beyond my normal hours when necessary to get the job done but believe there is much wasted time & energy that could be avoided by better communication. I take no issue with working hard, as long as it's smartest way. The work more often than not spills into my personal time.
