Pros

Pretty typical restaurant job. It's the people you work with that will make it an enjoyable experience. Hard to say about all locations, but as a full-time server I make adequate money. It has also been flexible enough that I was able to work full-time while going to college full-time.

Cons

Management can be a bit narrow focused. Often concerned more about numbers and stats than the happiness of the staff.

Pros

good benefits for long time management, location reviewed is a franchise

Cons

growth for middle management nearly impossible, company growth has been nearly nil, corporate officers say the right things but the actual hand on is not forthcoming. Most in the office have no hands on which makes it difficult to deal with actual staff issues
