Pros
flexible hours, strong management systems in place, excellent training resources for initial hiring and ongoing work environment, probably the best organized when it comes to ensuring employees are knowledgeable.
Cons
they have practices in place to provide consistent service, which the trade off is limited number of tables per section, as well as number of hours you can work, so it's difficult to exceed income barriers once you've hit your ceiling

Pros
Krowd makes it easy to access schedules to post, pick up, or swap. Management has always been thoughtful when it comes to situations that altered availability. I have found the team entirely more considerate than any other place I have worked.
Cons
Can't think of any. It is the restaurant business so it comes with it's own positive and negative characteristics, but overall nothing specific to Darden.
