Pros

Family Meal (if they even still do it)

Cons

Managers that don't care, employees that don't care, rude customers. Went from high end casual to an Asian themed Red Robin. Families, coupon clippers, and screaming babies

Pros

Good culture, but a lot of office politics. It can be a fun and relaxed office.

Cons

They do not pay their employees adequate wages. A lot of the management that was valued has left recently due to all the changes. Since they went private the focus on the employees has diminished.

Pros

I've worked at two separate locations, and both of them showed just how close the staff is. Everyone is really good friends and have a good time at work together. Compared to other restaurants I've worked at, the "front of house vs back of house" friction is almost non-existant. They take pride in their Training Program, and even use Certified Trainers to travel the world and open new locations.

Cons

Working as an hourly employee is fun, but nothing really differentiates PFCB from any other chain restaurant. Once you get promoted into management, you are completely taken advantage of. I was 100% team PF Chang's until I got promoted. 60 hour work weeks are totally normal, and you get grief from upper management if you make comments about the working conditions. You never get a lunch break, unless you sneak food into the office while doing paperwork or reading emails, and if the restaurant stays busy then you can't leave. It's great experience because once you've managed PF Chang's you can literally do anything.
