    Management forgets you are a person and not a machine. Happily takes but never gives back.
    The good thingsfast paced and busy, if you are into the thrill of a busy service you might enjoy it.
    The challengesold kitchen with a lot decaying equipment and floor surfaces management expects the impossible and for you to put your life on hold and put work first. a lot of 10-12 hour days with no break.

    I am grateful to have gotten out of that place after a couple of years. I do not feel trapped and depressed anymore. Working there was a terrible experience for me. Please do not put yourself through that find a positive workplace to work in like I eventually did.
    The good thingsMy friends who worked there who got me through my shifts.
    The challengesThe managers expect you to do there job from them. They expect to much from there staff and unfortunately if you say anything you end up getting excluded from the group. Its a very sad environment with no positives what so ever very toxic work place with low class clientele.

    Good place to work if you are best friends with management.
    The good thingsThe establishment is in a stunning location.
    The challengesIt is hard to approach management. They are just as petty as some of the staff. The hours are ridiculous for no reason.
