People must really like serving chicken wings.
Applications to be Hooters Girls are reportedly on the rise at the restaurant’s New York City location. According to women who work there, it’s actually an incredibly positive work environment.
“It’s a controlled environment here,” Victoria Cummings, 24, told The New York Post. “Unlike the streets and subways.”

Andrea Hill, the managing director of a midtown Hooters, also spoke with the outlet. While she acknowledged the stigma surrounding the chain, women who work at the restaurant are likely to form “lifelong friendships.” On top of that, Hill owes her career to working at the restaurant.
“I went from serving wings to having a seat in the boardroom,” she told The New York Post. “Sometimes when I meet people, I can see the look on their faces when I say I work at Hooters, but then I change their minds real fast.”

Despite those issues, it appears that Hooters won’t have any problems bringing on new recruits.
