Pros

salary & vacation time. benefits are better than some other companies but for Darden to be the biggest restaurant corporation they could be better

Cons

Potential for growth in the company, senior management is not hands on and only stays in touch with the general managers and no one else

Pros

They spend time actually training you. They make sure you know your stuff! The other employees have been more than helpful at helping me learn my way around. Over all, I love this job!

Cons

You have to deal with the occasional rude guest and roll a minimum of 50 silverware after your shift.
