Large Company With Large Opportunities
Jan 17, 2023 - BartenderRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The family-orientented nature of the company is always supportive, and they tend to hire management internally. This allows room for growth and training provided from people who are invested in the company. The clientele is pretty great as well. There are very few complaints about the system there. They are great with schedule flexibility as well.
Cons
There are a few contridictions with front of the house staff and back of the house staff. Quality control on product is sometimes up to servers and bartenders to maintain rather than management and higher level chefs. The slow seasons are no exaggeration
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Great company to gain experience and grow!

Pros
There’s are absolutely no pros. Not even the money
Cons
No management. Hostess seats who she likes or closest tables so she doesn’t have to walk. Manager says “no questions “ busters want extra tips to do anything except set tables. Drink time 20 minutes. Cool times 45-60.

Pros
Offers a ton of opportunity to move up in the company or to work special events. It can be slow during the summer which is normal for the service industry, but a ton of money during the holiday season especially if given the opportunity to work on banquets. I usually have a good time at work and the people around me make it a great work environment
Cons
You have to work holidays; it is mandatory
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
