Pros

The money was sometimes very good. I loved most of my co-workers and many of the managers.

Cons

The General Manager at the time, Brandon, was a verbally abusive gaslighter who was prone to flying off the handle, despite playing the "nice guy" card. He was even arrested in Florida for hitting his wife in a public place. Despite this, and many complaints from team members, he continued to advance in the company, Starr Restaurants.
