more than a few people like to take advantage of the company's generosity and still manage to find fault.
Advice to Management

Pros
Insurance is quite nice if you average 30 hours per week. If you like the clothing and accessories, you get a nice 50% discount.
Cons
Breathing down the neck micromanagement who play favorites, and focus more on nitpicking than the big picture.
Advice to Management
Vigilance with holding employees accountable for their in times. Teach your host staff to seat according to covers. Not just rotating tables, with no care for how many are in each party. Common sense, you know.

Pros
Tommy Bahama provides you with a piece of free clothing every month if you are a full time worker. If you're a part time, you will receive a piece every 2 months. You will be working with qualified individuals and will wear nice clothing when working. They try to accommodate as much as they can for your benefit.
Cons
Depending on the manager, you could have a power hungry manager that will get holidays off on the most busiest days of the year. If you try to request those days off, You would most likely get those days denied. If you also doing any schooling its frowned upon because they want you to work as much hours as you can. Depending on locations it can vary from place to place on how management runs things.
Advice to Management
Have a fair request off scheduling to accommodate for everyone.
