Pros

Very motivated group of people passionate about the culinary arts. Everyone takes the job seriously and that can make it very intense at times. In general though it is a great place to learn and gain access to some awesome venues.

Cons

The hours are extremely long especially during days where there are events. You may arrive at 8:00am and leave at 12:00am.

Pros

There are Health Benefits and Career Coaching available. If you need to speak to a Manager about any issue, they are always available to talk to.

Cons

There is a "Black Period" when you can not have vacation. If you did not go culinary school, it will be almost impossible to get promoted, even when you have experience and the skills necessary.
