Pros

The company is well deserving of being listed as one of Fortune 500 best companies to work for. Darden takes good care of their employees as well as offering benefits and incentives. Managers are friendly and professional. To put it bluntly, as an Olive Garden server i earn more than some of my friends with degrees.

Cons

Late hours, physically demanding.

Pros

Worked 40 hours a week normally on an average I would bring in 1,500-2,000 serving at Longhorn Steak House working dinner and bar shifts, I worked the last month of the year as an Service Professional to cover taxes

Cons

Don't have any cons, It is a very good company to work for. You just need to make sure that you have a great MP that isn't burnt out.
