Pros
It's a great job to meet interesting people, a good job to have while in college. If you are evaluated as a good employee you can move up in job titles quickly and change restaurants. Some of the best managers I have worked with, however, these people are moved around a lot to put out fires at other restaurants. Insurance policy is ok, around $370 for a single person.
Cons
Claim taxes on 100% of tips. Overall negative team work. They implement team service in all their restaurants; which works at Roots, a high end steak house, but not at their other concepts; creating a frustrating environment. Management vents their frustrations as much as employees. The owners have a monthly meeting with representatives from each restaurant, which does little to no good; the owner listens passively. This passivity is mirrored throughout company management.
