Pros

Each day is different- no routine to fall into. Learning different ways to communicate to people as motivating your employees. Endless opportunities for career opportunities as long as you're willing to work for it. Diverse responsibilities and something new to learn each day. Meeting new people and building relationships not just with guests but with vendors as well.

Cons

Each day is different, so some days may be longer and more demanding than another. The restaurant business is people driven- so you have to deal with all different types and personalities.

Pros

Doherty Enterprises is the authority within the franchised-restaurant industry. It is a caring company; one that frequently gives back to its employees and provides unique and challenging opportunities to promote growth and professional satisfaction. The company encourages and graciously celebrates tenured employment while it seeks to reinforce its corporate culture of "family and togetherness." Ed Doherty has never failed to recognize or has forgotten his people as his most valuable asset. And that is precisely why he, as a nationally acclaimed business leader, has driven his company to the top of the industry. I, myself, am a testament of Mr. Doherty's mission. The company, and all of its leaders, have brought me from the most basic hourly position straight to the leaders' table; and I could not be happier and more thankful for my professional rite of passage. Generous salaries, family-supporting benefits (including ample paid vacation), quarterly bonuses, and an overwhelming sense of familiarity are only some of the attractions available to all.

Cons

Challenging hours and occasional long commutes come with the territory in the restaurant industry. However, that is no different than the cons of working for any other company.
