Pros

They have a flexible schedule, but make you feel bad about giving away shifts. It's an extremely busy restaurant. No late night shifts (Usually out before 11 pm, 12 am AT THE LATEST) Great trade-outs from local businesses and great prizes for non-mediocre employees.

Cons

Inconsistencies (understatement). Stressed out management. You often get the feeling you're not appreciated. Unrealistic gift card sales (the most stressful and mind-raping time to work for the company). A young staff who doesn't care. A management staff that plays in fields of fraternization...constantly. The constant feeling that you're going to get fired for not "selling enough of what they need sold for the quarter". Intense training program that shoves too much down your throat. The most ridiculous tip-out I have ever experienced (I pay more in tip out than my monthly bills). Overall, just a standing ovation to mediocrity. Worst serving job I've ever had.

Pros

Training program is awesome. They seriously have it dialed in and are typically pretty good about who they decide to promote to a trainer. One of the best things about working here is that you can really be proud of what you're serving. The concept is great, prices are great, and pretty much everything is made from scratch and delicious. Best steak for the price, hands down. Great schedule flexibility, which is key for work-life balance. The work environment is really fun! Pretty much everyone gets along and management holds contests each night which keeps things interesting.

Cons

No benefits, which can be tough. It's pretty exhausting work, since you are pretty much on your feet and running around for at least 4-5 hours each night, more if you work a double. But you get used to it.

Pros

Casual dress...sometimes a little too casual. Good bonus program..

Cons

Has a "cult-like" culture. Very much the "old-boys network" running things. Talks about being a "family-oriented" company, but they are not. They talk about wanting their employees to have the "work-life balance", but if you leave when you're scheduled to leave, management looks down on this.
