Pros

free food opportunity to make good friends tips on a good night talking to customers and striking good convos putting out good food and having regulars return

Cons

very competitive, many people want to be in charge so they try and boss others around so much work for so little compensation, it almost feels like a rip-off. the music gets pretty annoying after a while the food is kind of pricey so there's lots of rude customers or cheapo's who don't want to pay

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
