Lifestyle
As Dishwasher and Prep Cook at the Fox and Hound, you're required to adhere to
a dress code. Although, enforced only at convenience of management at critical
times. They are always cutting the hours and they change your schedule weekly or
on their wim. They do this without discussing it with you which makes it hard to
swallow. Although, they encourage general respect and teamwork in the workplace.
The management lacks the sincerity to follow through by example. I myself drive
30 minutes one way to work and receive no compensation except for a Thank you
(which smacks smartly of routine or habit) rather than real appreciation.
Again, although, claiming to offer you room for growth and advancement little is
done in the way of encouraging such. If you do a good job and they like you
there, they tend to not want to rock the boat.

Compensation
The base salary I started at was $6.50 per hour, along with free
billiard table time(off peak hours) and one free sandwich meal
per working day. For fulltime employees, they offer some paid
vacation although, I know of no one that's received such.
I don't think that the pay scale is equal. Rather, individually
evaluated to get more from each employee than they give. In
other words, some are hired at a higher scale and given raises
more frequently than others. (Favoritism plays a bigger role than
qualification)
They have an incentive award "Employee of the Month" where you
get your name on a plaque and a $50.00 bonus (after taxes more
like $30.) This is completely up to managements discretion as to
who wins.

Advice to Jobseekers
Ask for more up front than I did. Unless, your willing to move
into management of some sort it's a dead-end job. If you want to
move into management. They want to dictate to you where you will
train and although they pay for the training, they in turn expect
you for the most part to take whatever location they dictate. If
your not willing to relocate, it's not a good situation.
