Pros

Popular company so you will make okay money depending on which restaurant you are employed. Great training is given and you may get the chance to work your way up.

Cons

If you leave you better be good with the management in every way. If not (for any reason..even personal feelings), you will never be able to work at that restaurant ever again.
