Pros

Fox Restaurant Concepts is a reputable company, so the restaurant is typically full, and the money is pretty consistent, especially during season.

Cons

Side work is insane, you typically have about 2-3 hours of it after you have been cut (not sure how other culinary dropouts are but I have worked at 3 different fox restaurants and they were all like this) They care about the guest so much which can be good, but they do it to a fault where it is so obvious they care about them more than their employees. Also, a party of 20 wants 20 separate tabs? Gotta do it (no auto grat either) They will do just about anything for their guests, the guests get used to it and just start treating you like crap. Management is ok, they clearly have favorites and don't try to hide it.
