Pay is consistent and not bad, and I really loved my coworkers. I made $18/hr as a host and for the amount of work I was doing that was definitely pretty good. As an host I wasn’t in the tip pool but servers and bartenders made wayyy more than I did. Also, full time employees get great benefits.
Cons
I often felt condescended to by management, and felt that I wasn’t valued as a team member. In general I felt that management was either passive aggressive or micro-managing, neither of which I love as management styles.

Amazing food, deeply talented work force, some incredible chefs and the CEO and owners are deeply professional and personally responsible people.
Cons
most of the restaurant level chefs and general managers are failing to adapt to the new attitude of the labor force and are often caught in compromising displays of hypocrisy, belaying all the issues central to the link group. its gotten large enough to need more than just restaurant smarts, there are hundreds of young people seeking to advance their careers through the Link Group and rightly so. its a large corporate institution that employs hundreds of people and there deserves to be some meritocracy and democracy within the individual restaurants that is not bottle necked by one CDC with the capacity to play favorites and use deceptive management practices to inhibit the personal needs and wellbeing of their staff.
