Pros

Corporate culture of empowerment, a sense that you are not always contributing to the downfall of modern civilization. Good food, decent benefits package (that was far better before the IPO).

Cons

Long hours for managers, lots of stress. Publicly traded means profit comes before common sense sometimes. (i.e., the labor matrix penalizes busy restaurants, making it so that labor costs are often as low as 11-12%, which is way too low.)

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
