Pros

Great place to work if you like being in the mix of things. Kitchen is in the front of the house so guests can watch their food being prepared. Cooks are able to interact with customers. It is a fun place to work.

Cons

Downside is the company is not always able to pay employees what they should be earning. The workload is sometimes extensive for the number of employees. Still it is my favorite place to work, wish there was one in Wilkes-Barre PA

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
