Pros

Get to work with in a cultural diverse work place and interact with a lot of guests. Developed some great relationships with other managers in the region most left after 1-2 years with Darden.

Cons

It's all about who you know not what you know. Managing Partners are gods, even really bad ones. No development from Managing Partner and no support from area director he came around once every two weeks and spent most of his time on the phone didn't really care about his team.

Pros

Stability and competitive compensation package. Great benefits and training is among the best that I have experienced. Love this company, but hate why I was let go.

Cons

Very PC, company values hourly employees over tenured salaried employees. Was let go because of something I said to an employee. Was not meant in the way she took it, but I never got a chance to explain before being let go.
