Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are nice.

Cons

Hours are awful. They tell you 50 when you are hired but you get shamed for leaving work after your 10 hour day. Upper management completely disconnected, they set goals with no idea how difficult it is to attain them in the modern restaurant industry. General Managers work the bare minimum of 2 closing shifts a month while expecting Assistant managers to work 3 closing shifts a week. The restaurants do like 60% of the business at night and GM's are nowhere to be seen. Area Directors very rarely pop by the restaurants and (lets just be honest) could not care less what happens to the Assistants. HR doesnt care about how difficult it makes it to punish employees. In general, I feel like Doherty is a job for people with limited opportunities elsewhere, cause the pay and benefits are really good. But everything else is really awful.

Pros

Pay was competitive, at first.

Cons

Bonus plan used to be good. It was tweaked so much, it became difficult to attain goals. Area directors were NEVER present. They avoided cafes when audits were due, to distance themselves from any culpability. Some area directors have inappropriate relationships with some managers and it is too obvious to those that actually have experience and ideas.
