Pros

easy $100 a night. fast paced. build regular customers, management support overall. Tools are there for you to learn procedures and extensive menu knowledge. This helps servers know the product and impress the guess $$$. Good group of people to work with. Management touches each table and ensures your guests are happy so be on your toes. JVP pops in to say hi, store runs so smoothly he has other things to worry about, (this is a good thing for both management and staff) I have enjoyed all my managers at Suffern, NY (3308), Danbury, CT (0762), Shelton, CT (0716)

Cons

sidework and silverware. if you can't let stress roll off or if you are to sensitive then NO restaurant is a match for you. What you put in is what you get out. You will work holidays and weekends belong to Outback. You need to decide if you want to work or just hang out. opportunity for advancement, especially women( thanks to a class action suit). No problem transferring to another

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.
