Pros
1. Free, delicious food. 2. Owners are very seasoned restaurateurs. 3. You learn a ton about scalable processes. 4. Ownership is willing to invest in cutting edge technology. 5. A lot of opportunity for upward mobility. 6. Very affluent investor base. Excellent opportunity to network with accomplished people from every walk of life and venture into a new career if you so choose. I know this because that's what happened to me. 7. Expanding like crazy. Anything that the ownership touches turns to gold.
Cons
When outside investment comes in, the returns have to be made to shareholders. This could lead to the cheapening of the food quality, diminished compensation and the addition of professionals with less experience that are willing to work for less. There have been successions made but the overall vitality of the business is still intact so they're on the right path.
