Pros

Coworkers usually crazy fun. Food is good, if they adhere to the Dave's standard every time.

Cons

Favoritism by management Problem solving of handing out free food Would rather hire a server who is "attractive" and stupid than moves current employee up who actually gets the job done. Doesn't hire if one doesn't have previous experience. Only hires friends of coworkers who turn out to be terrible workers. Focused solely on labor percentages rather than guest satisfaction and service. GMs last 9 months, guaranteed.
