What is it like working as a Restaurant Assistant Manager?
May 2016
Grey Haired Wallet.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
Pros: It pays fairly well especially given the fact I am only 20.
Cons: I am going to end up with grey hairs within the time I work at my job. Problems and rude customers happen seemingly every five minutes.

Love the challenge.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
Pros: Every day is a new challenge, and I really appreciate being on my toes. I love making people happy, food is delicious & service is great. I really enjoy that I'm on top of everything... Not that in controlling but I like to make sure everything is under control.
Cons: Unreliable employees.

It's hard work, but rewarding.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
You run all day, then have to clean up at night. You get more complaints then compliments. And you deal with some staff that are just not ready to put in the effort. But, if you creat the right team, it can be fun and rewarding.
February 2016
All the stress for $16 an hour average.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
Pros: I enjoy talking to people and the benefits. It is nice to be able to wear your hair how you like and choose your own clothes. A consistent paycheck is nice and 401k. Some of the people who work for you are nice and you can make a positive impact in their life.
Cons: It is hard to see servers work 40 hours a week and make as much money as you. You have little appreciation from upper management, long hours, inflexible schedule, constant paperwork. It is very similar to babysitting. You can counsel employees about the same things over and over again. You can write them up and short of firing them, little changes. People think everything is an emergency and 6 people will run up and say things they need from you all at the same time. It will leave you feeling overwhelmed. Guests will not understand when it is a holiday and they have to wait for a table, when they have a reservation.
January 2016
Less stressful.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
Find out everything about your employer first before excepting your new job.
January 2016
Fast and demanding attention constently.
Restaurant Assistant Manager:
Pros: The people and all the no benefits.
Cons: The always changing hours. No sleep schedule.
