      Pros

      Well known company looks good on resume, good systems, good training, decent pay,

      Cons

      For an Assistant Manager there is no connection to the rest of the company, and company leaders don't "waste" their time with you, which made me feel very unappreciated. This feeling of inconsideration seemed to trickle down to the staff as well.

      Pros

      You get tipped as a hostess even, and pretty ok ones at that. It's always busy, so that can be good or bad, depending on your view.

      Cons

      You are a vessel for food, but also expected to be perfect, charming, all-knowing and patient. You will be treated horribly by one-time, passing through customers and creeped on by regulars. Get good at acting.
