Pros

decent pay, ok schedule, paid holidays, benefits. Would be good for someone with a family who wants quality of life and still work in the culinary industry.

Cons

Incompetent staff, both upper management and low level employees are super apathetic and are just there for money. No consideration or respect throughout that I saw. No team mentality or sense of urgency.

Pros

Lots of free food (also a con for your waist line!) Great people to work with - especially on back of the house, front of the house side Somewhat flexible for a food-related job Some holidays off (also rare for a food job) Decent benefits

Cons

Really long days - 10 hour minimum Early mornings/late nights Lots of the regular cons with the food industry Too much free food (see #1 above) Much of upper management sucks - out of touch, too much money, very much like congress - old, white rich men You can get burned out easily
