Pros

It is the restaurant business - what more can I say. Worked with some great people over the years. Plenty of training available.

Cons

It is the restaurant business. Be prepared to work long hours and reduce your quality of life. The culture in each property is what you create but the overall culture of the company has changed for the worse. I loved the restaurant business at one time but I realized as I got older that spending time with your family is more important.

Pros

Clear goals and great training. Your abilities and performance determine when and if you'll get promoted and affect bonus pay.

Cons

The hours can be grueling among other nonsense that goes along with working at a restaurant. Specifically unruly guests and emplyees with bad attitudes.
