Pros

Great for entry level position/high school job to get some money. Exposure to restaurant business. Half off everything all the time (minus alcohol)

Cons

Pay almost entirely depends on tips of the night and likewise success of restaurant. Treated fairly poorly, at bottom of the chain as a host. Management not very helpful and very understaffed in servers, clear that the chain is declining and losing quality.

Pros

The store level can be a really rewarding experience, I come to work and genuinely enjoy my job and coworkers.

Cons

Hovering corporate can be a headache. You don't have a say on which location you are sent to after training just a consideration of your location and commute. The bonus system is lacking with metrics that are hard to obtain and only quarterly. Raises are hardly cost of living wages and seniority isnt rewarded as new managers typically come in making as much if not more than senior managers.
