Pros

Flexible, enjoyable, relatively easy, experience in communicating with people

Cons

It is not necessarily an professional environment. There is some unexperienced management so sometimes it can be difficult to work for managers that are just learning how to do their job or managers who do not fulfill their role professionally.

Pros

Learn the Restaurant industry if you are entry level Management works together to provide a cohesive atmosphere Company is very organized Great training easy to use accounting and inventory computer programs

Cons

Very difficult to receive bonuses! Employees must work all holidays (thanksgiving, christmas eve and christmas day, new years eve and day). You must also sign a contract that is based on 50 hours a week but you will work 55+ hours. If busy, you are required to cook and expedite food. Benefits are mediocre. Raises were once a year and 3% or less.

Pros

good atmosphere but definitely depends highly on the management of the specific restaurant.

Cons

Did not work in a busy area so didn't get as many hours but that was not the company's fault.
