Pros
There are smart, talented people working at Famous Dave's. They are constantly looking for ways to re-invent themselves and therefore moving at a very fast pace to upgrade technology and the dining experience (or are really catching up with where the fast casual biz has gone). Free beverages offered in the break room and sometimes free food. The main chefs work on-site on new menu items, so it's fun to learn about what they are working on.
Cons
This company is experiencing significant change in leadership and is moving at a very fast pace. Some people work hard and long hours. There is often a lack of clarity on decisions and direction, which can contribute to the feeling of a chaotic environment. It's not really a team environment; there is minimal collaboration with cross-functional teams. It has a flat org structure with little room for advancement. Overall, there are ongoing high expectations and demands to grow business wherever possible.
