Pros

The pay was good. The dining perks were nice.

Cons

You work long shifts. 10 hours was a short shift for me. Also, you work every weekend, and getting time off was difficult. You will miss almost all family engagements. And my area never seemed to be fully staffed with managers, so there were times that we would need to help cover another location.

Pros

I made amazing money there for 2 years.

Cons

They reduced sections to 3 or 4 tables. I had run shifts that I had 10 tables and my boss told me "I know u can do it." Friday nights went from $200-$250 nights to less than $100. I made $150 on average serving at a pizza diner 26 years ago. Corporate decided servers weren't their bread and butter. I switched jobs in town and daily they remember me from Outback. It's a shame really. I went to Outback this week and it was DEAD. 3 tables during the dinner rush. The new CEO played it wrong. I'll be surprised if they even exist in 5 years.
