Pros

Free concerts, 22% automatic gratuity, management doesn’t care, you can basically do whatever you want

Cons

Company retains 25% of service charge and distributes it unfairly amongst all staff members who work those 2 weeks even if they work 1 slow day but don’t work the 1 slammed busy day. Too many staff members. Servers make more money than bartenders, although they work for a total on like a hour and a half, meanwhile the bartenders have lines of 50 people deep, and the bar backs can’t keep up, but the servers are sitting on their behinds on their phones instead of jumping in to help.

Pros

I was so excited and proud to work here for the first few years…the values are strong and there are hundreds if not thousands of impressive people here.

Cons

and then there was a CEO transition that drove a cultural change that ruined that. It took a year or so plus bad financial outcomes for her weaknesses to make it down the ladder but they did. First of all she just started hiring her old friends from past roles. The club in Denver couldn’t be more obvious. Then she started chanting mottos and motivational quotes and trying to build strategy around them that no one understood (transform and perform!). Clearly the leadership team has worked their way up for the ego and not to be inspirational leaders. We have to literally watch them perform on stage, dancing, singing, and it’s all main character syndrome. Meanwhile the rest of the employees don’t see what value they bring to the table other than maybe the ability to speak publicly. It’s become toxic, no one knows what they’re meant to do and corporate leadership is about the worst I’ve ever seen at mentoring and actually leading. It was great for so long but genuinely dove off a cliff with the current ceo.
