Pros

Darden is a strong company that has a bright future. I've been with longhorn since it was Rare Hispitality so I've seen a lot of change over the years.

Cons

Only downside to working for Darden is it's definitely a large company mindset. There isn't a personal connection to anyone above immediate supervisor, yiu are just a number.
