Pros
Darden has good pay and benefits including stock ownership. The company is a leader in the restaurant industry and is an innovator. If you want to work for the best company in the restaurant business then this is the one to work for. If you don't like a lot of structure then this probably would not be a good work environment for you.
Cons
Pretty much the same as any other company - some Senior Management seem to be more interested in looking for ways to get ahead personally instead of being effective leaders. Some areas seem to have a very entrenched "good ol boy network" going on. Have witnessed some instances of discrimination.
