Pros

~ The skill level, dedication and knowledge of sous chefs, the chef de cuisine and fellow cooks was unparalleled; ~ The benefits package was good; ~ Working under a celebrity chef and three-star status and high-profile of the restaurant was very good for my resume; ~The level of cooking was spectacular; ~The restaurant's philosophy about food, seasonality and animal husbandry was wonderful.

Cons

~ Their was a tremendous amount of yelling by kitchen management to get results; ~ The pay was difficult to survive on; ~ Women were not treated as equals; ~ Difficult to be promoted; ~ Many of the kitchen management had worked with some of the cooks at other restaurants, if you were not part of this rat-pack, your skills were not trusted.
