Pros
Thoughtful in terms of growth and expansion. Focus on service--you are empowered to create great experiences for your guests. The opportunity to work with a handful of extremely talented and passionate professionals. The chance to work as an operator, not just a manager. Challenging environment. Great feedback and development of your skills. Offering of health insurance (including FSA/HSA), 401K, dining cards, and generous manager discounts at all restaurants. Noble efforts towards recycling and composting. Bonus structure. Great vision. Food & Beverage Director.
Cons
Often poor quality of life due to long hours and unrealistic demands. Feedback can be overly critical. Don't expect to be rewarded or shown much appreciation. In fact, this company is all about what more you can be doing or what you're not doing well. Often changes are implemented and then revised without the proper time to see them successfully managed. There is a huge support team, but everyone is constantly buried and are not always that helpful or responsive. Lots of systems, procedures, administrative work, and check lists. Tons of disconnect between upper management.
