Pros

Great training and culture. Associates are well taken care of.

Cons

Darden does not use Labor % for in restaurant management. They use a midpoint to make it even across busy and slow restaurants. This causes managers to react to slow periods and cut labor which then forces managers to cook, take tables instead of running the business.
