Pros

My coworkers were hilarious. I laughed to keep from crying.

Cons

The restaurant refuses to change with the times. They overstaff and make employees fight like wild animals for hours. They honor tenure over talent. The management is full of power-hungry and under-qualified people. Staff morale is very low. Guests can be expected to wait an hour for some dishes. Extremely corporate. They prioritize profits over people. HR doesn’t set proper standards for sexual misconduct.

Business Outlook

Pros

When it’s busy the money is great and the food is delicious

Cons

Training teaches excellence in everything and the training was tough which is normally good however it made culture strict and uptight even if you were doing great at your job there’s always something management could find or group you in with lower preforming employees and complain about. No one was ever happy at work at either locations i was apart of. Chef & server relationships were usually tense and not the best. Side work was a lot and unorganized
