Pros

- Danny Meyer's philosophy of Enlightened Hospitality, as described in his book Setting the Table, is powerful and should be both learned and practiced no matter what industry one works in.

Cons

- Very little opportunity for growth. Management will keep you in your role as long as possible at the lowest possible pay grade. - Uninspiring work with no incentive structure. Be prepared to ask for a raise/promotion. - Divided work environment. There are clear barriers between levels and roles which leaves certain employees to feel disconnected and disengaged.
