Pros

Salary was nice, but its in place so that the CEO can throw it in your face that he pays you a good salary so you should do exactly as he says.

Cons

The CEO, Nafees Alam, is not equipped/qualified to be a CEO of a restaurant group. He consistently is removed from the actual operation of the business but has zero issue telling you how you should run the restaurant. Also what you are told one day is most definitely not true the next. Get used to never getting anywhere with any project as you will be told that you are wasting time when you were specifically told to do it that way in the first place. Effective, right? Oh and watch out for all of the 'lifers' they have learned how to survive in this environment and will throw you under the bus the moment they feel threatened. Also, having a brain and an opinion is a definite no go. Just be a mindless idiot and do exactly as Nafees says and you'll be fine.

Pros

Worked at the Dallas Fish Market in management. Food was good. My Omega-3s where through the roof during my last physical. Ate a ton of sushi, but that's about it.

Cons

Lied to me about hours. Was told it was a 5 day, 45-50 hour work week. It was 6 days and 50 plus. When ask when that would change, I was just laughed at. Lied to me about bonus structure. Never received a bonus my entire time there. When I put in my 2 week notice, apparently the CEO wanted to fire me right then (he had done that with 2 prior members of management), but someone stepped up and said that since I was doing the professional thing by giving notice, I should be allowed to work out my 2 weeks. No benefits package also.

Pros

If you don't want to have to think, this is for sure a good place for you. You are told what to do, and expected to do that. If you are not really good at being a manager, they will hire you in heart beat.

Cons

pay is awful, not even competitive, no benefits, no 401K, no training, no support from upper management. No compassion or even human respect.
