Employees consistently work until midnight and can sometimes work until 2:00am on busy weekends (or busy Discount Tuesday's!)

Our goal is help each employee reach their potential. In order to achieve this, we do offer opportunities to advance to management levels. We also advocate for our employees who transfer to other Larry H. Miller entities in pursuit of their career goals.
