Pros

It is easy to transfer between various concepts if you are looking for a change of scenery. Also, the scheduling system Fox Restaurant Concepts uses makes it easy to pick up extra shifts, swap shifts, or drop shifts.

Cons

As a server, there is very little support from the management. It is a high stress environment, and management offers little to no forgiveness. Employees were fired EXTREMELY frequently - at least one every week or two. Often, management's reasons for firing employees were ludicrous.

Pros

Young hip concepts. Usually busy. Ok money. Some bartenders make great $$.

Cons

Clicky. Micromanaged. Overly managed. Very corporate vibe. Lots of management is overworked and underpaid. I was at Olive and Ivy for less that a year and saw I believe 5 general managers in that time. They hired on average I would say 15 servers every two weeks. They would sometimes offer the new servers better shifts and sections regardless of how long you were an employee. No seniority. The restaurant basically became a night club with a Dj on weekends. The kitchen employees and even the executive chef hated their situations and Sam Fox as well. Lots of turnover everywhere. Guests complained all the time to Sam. Employees are molded so experience is not necessarily a good thing. A ton of work everyday even on days when your section barley got sat and you may have made little to no money. Many managers didn't really care about most employees on average. It was probably hard to because there were about 100 servers on the schedule on any given week.

Pros

Paycheck is real. Also get one free meal a day.

Cons

Horrible experience. Just finished a three month externship there and would never recommend this place to anyone. Started off ok then quickly realized the Executive Chef and management team have no business managing anyone. In order to secure your job be ready to brown-nose your way to job security. STAY AWAY!!
