Pros

Good pay for the work. Respected in the community. Consistent performer financially which makes it rewarding. Bonus program is fair.

Cons

The company goes in way to many different directions and is not clear on their path to greatness. They need to focus on a clear critical few and have more realistic labor goals.

Pros

They have a solid management training program. Skills learned there can be transported and used in most other similar restaurants.

Cons

If you have a family, the work schedule can cause conflicts. Some opening shifts, some midday shifts and some closing shifts. Each week can be a different schedule.
