Pros

Strong training program that really spends the time to help new servers learn the menu and the standards of service. Expectations for standards are well-defined, including language to use and steps of service. The company also creates a strong sense of community with company-wide communications, volunteer programs and opportunities to transfer or change position. The company is well-organized, has quality products, maintains strong marketing, and continues to grow.

Cons

I wish the benefits package for hourly staff was better, but those are losing ground in many companies, and that's all in a state of change, anyway.

Know your job and worth.

Pros

From a server/trainer perspective: If you know all aspects of your job, e.g. better than a general description for food items, drinks, etc; do running sidework, run food and never have guest complaints or cash/credit card discrepancy--you will generally have great shifts.

Cons

Sometimes you need to be on a manager's short list to get proper credit/attention.
