Pros

Really great money and the customers are 99% really awesome. The company pays higher than other restaurants for servers.

Cons

My location (maybe others too) was very clique-y. A few of the younger girls on first shift have very severe nepotism since their mother works in recruitment.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
