Pros

Fun work environment. If you're interested in relocating they take great care of you during your move and give you lots of opportunities to assist with new restaurant openings.

Cons

No support, long hours, what you are told at hiring and what is real are two different things. You are suppose to have 2 consecutive days off, there were weeks I worked all 7. You are suppose to do 50 hour work weeks, I did 60+ every week. The managers above you are never held accountable and use the managers below them to do everything and work all the shifts they don't want to. The pressure and chaos is exhausting. It's is 100% not worth the money. There are much better jobs, that pay well and do not take years off your life due to stress and unhappiness. I was miserable working there, I didn't even realize how miserable until I left and found somewhere much better.

Pros

Very busy. Constant flow of customers coming in.

Cons

Wild expectations for servers. Run your food and the food for the whole rest of the floor. Bus for the whole floor. Obtain customer reviews in their internal system - your job depends on this - but the system only works 15% of the time and most customers won’t do it.
