In a corporate gig you'll have more time and space to learn the bar and a bit 
more job security than a family owned, smaller establishment; however, they'll 
be far less friendly and tolerant of deviation from the norm with zero room 
for tardiness or absence for any reason.

If you're a newer bartender with only a couple years experience, I highly 
recommend you spend some time learning classic drinks, etiquette, wines and 
specialty beers prior to your first day.  Get their menu and drink  price 
lists for study a week before you arrive.  Beer and wine lists are helpful and 
any relevant descriptions of those particular brands as a cheat sheet.  Find 
out if they have a opening and closing procedure list they could fax you.

If done correctly, the hardest part of the job is learning the names of 
everybody and mastering the till.
