Pros

you can possibly make tips usually not that many since you have to split them up with everyone at the end of the shift. and free food but gets horrible after the second week

Cons

the upper management are slave drivers and don't respect you as a person. have multiple bosses telling you to do things different. they don't look for good workers they just put anyone anywhere. they hire managers that sexually harass the young girls that work there

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
