Pros
Training is excellent for managers. You gain a great understanding for the restaurant industry. If you want to work for this company, work in the Austin area. Reasonable with vacation requests. If you work hard, its easy to move up. They are expanding which creates opportunity. Health code and sanitation is impeccable Very knowledgeable GMs and AGMs, great at mentoring and helping you succeed.
Cons
Long hours and late nights (which is clearly stated in the interviewing process), sometimes you will stay until 4am, sometimes longer. Not family oriented. This is not the place to work for if you want to start a family, or have young children. High employee and management turnover. Low initial pay, bonus plan is good if you get into a AGM or GM role. Constant negative feedback. Employees are required to do a large amount of side work which creates long work days and low moral. Extremely rule oriented company, which is good for structure but does create a stressful environment. The interviewing process is incredibly long which makes the staffing your restaurant a painful process.
