Lack of support from management, no opportunity to grow within the company only within the restaurant hierarchy, downturns in business directly and immediately correlate to making less money.

You smelly like rotting fish after working here for awhile
Rush hours can be hellish
Tips go into a pot and shared with everyone, from bus boys to cooks working in the back
Not very accommodating to schedule changes

Advice to Senior Management

Get out of the office in the back and help out in the restaurant during the busy times.

Your food being cooked right in front of you.
Some regular customers that you know over the time will become good friends.
Great co-workers (if you get along with most).
50% Discount for employee when you're eating in.

Cons

The pay is terrible for a large company making at least a couple millions a year on one store. Do not expect a raise every year!
No advancement in your career whatsoever.
Managements are scattered brains because too many things on one's plate.

Advice to Senior Management

Bring back the fun, friendly and family like workplace. Stop trying to make Benihana a super classy restaurant. Let Benihana be Benihana, a unique family restaurant with shows on every tables.
