Pros

only thing good is that they give ya time off when ya need it and the scheduling is extremely flexible.

Cons

I work for longhorn under darden and I have been with the place for 3 years and have received a 5-star performance review, I have still not seen a dime of compensation for the time i have been there or for my performance. I asked my manager and he said he can give me more hours if i need money, then he also said he can switch me to another job position which I still receive starting pay and it ends up being around the exact same compared to if I was making lower hourly + tips. That's management constantly going through loopholes and being cheap. Although without any type of compensation for what I have worked crazy for, why should I work hard? Why dont I take my time and still get paid the same compared to if I worked hard at the place? I will still always get paid the same. Darden calls themselves one of the top 100 companies to work for when pay raises arn't given out?
