Pros

Great company, Good benefits, Darden stocks, they match what you put in. You work with a lot of driven individuals.

Cons

Gravely underpaid! You will miss a lot of holidays, long shifts, as any restaurant, if your staff does not show up you better have a plan or you work the shift. Some customers make the job harder. etc.
