Pros

They teach a wonderful lesson that could be applicable to life itself. The pay was decent if you were given a proper schedule.

Cons

They take advantage of the people who are affected by this lesson, and drive you into exhaustion without considering a raise in equity. At the end of the day, this lesson is only a guise for saving money. Expect to sit and eat once in a 16 hour shift without a manager breathing down your neck. Blame is thrown every which way but to who it belongs to, and thats because everyone is managed with fear rather than love. There was one front of the house manager from chicago, she was really good, the others were cut-throat. The head chef in the back of the house was the only other manager that actually cared about their employees.

Pros

Discounted and Free Food It's pretty

Cons

Management is full of liars and hypocrites and they don't know or care how the restaurant is being run You can't get promoted in certain positions because they don't have anyone to fill them once you leave (like quicksand) Only the lazy get promoted when they suck in their position They only give certain people raises based on favoritism and seniority and not on work quality Coworkers don't do sidework Corporate Bull - fake smiles and facade of concern No one actually cares about you
