Pros
It was a good company to work for when they allowed employees to work full time. New policy limits all employees to 25 hours per week so they will not have to provide health insurance. How can a person afford to live in Chicago working only 25 hours per week? How can a person get a second job when Darden requires them to be available for all shifts including weekends and holidays?
Cons
The tips working here are much less than the majority of other restaurants. This is because you have an hour and a half of side work to do each night after your customers have left. Server minimum wage while not making tips!
