      Pros

      Growth opportunities within the company and across the U.S., development programs to assist with your career, fair pay, state of the art systems, reputation as a giant in casual dining, work alongside great people.

      Cons

      The restaurant industry commands 55 hours per week in management and since weekends are the busiest shifts most managers work one or two days each weekend. It can be a high stress situation as business dictates. Need to be able to handle all types of situations.

      Pros

      Did not have to claim all cash tips.

      Cons

      Was "suspended" and then fired because I could not get to work (45 mins away) in a blizzard and no one could cover for me (it was a double shift) so two strikes = fired!
