Pros

The quality of life is excellent. We are treated very well compared to other restaurant companies that tend to abuse salaried managers. Here we stick to our 50 hour work week. Our schedules are well balanced which also is a huge plus.

Cons

The only real con is that due to the company taking very good care of it's people there are countless managers that have been around 10 to 15 years so advancement to upper management can be tough.

Pros

I entered this job with five years experience already as a server, though with zero bar knowledge. The five day, planned and structured training modules and shadowing are helpful for those not familiar with restaurant work or certain aspects of it (such as I was). Frequent sales or other campaign contests made the shift fun and earned me some extra cash from time to time. I worked with many lively, friendly, funny, and otherwise fun people to be around.

Cons

While working with many people that were joys to be around, management's overall lack of conflict resolution left much to be desired when issues arose. Hours also varied in extremes between understaffing and present employees not getting help they need on the floor or behind the line and overstaffing when brining back students during the holidays/summer and giving a position to whoever walked in the door. The latter which led to loyal team-members seeking out secondary or other all together roles elsewhere.
