Pros
Free food for managers while working
Super-high salaries - but it's just a ploy to get you in the door
Cell phone stipend and parking (if you ask for it before you accept the job)
Cons
Everything else. The corporate culture is incredibly toxic. The corporate offices are in Times Square and while their NYC locations continue to thrive, senior leadership has a blanket approach to managing restaurants in other cities. What works in New York may not necessarily translate to DC or Vegas and forcing those operational and sales strategies upon managers who are more familiar with their markets is severely demoralizing. They lure you in with a high salary and pump up your ego/expectations by telling you that they need YOUR knowledge of the industry to help push them to the next level but then sit in NY and undermine you at every turn. Popping into the restaurant for a couple hours every other month will not make them an expert on nuances of the city and does not give them an opportunity to see how tragically their methods are failing.
Also, no paid holidays. The restaurant is open 365 days a year and the sales office is only unmanned on some Sundays. Expect to work on Christmas & Thanksgiving
Mandatory minimum work day of 10 hours, 5-6 days a week - ALL employees, including managers, must punch in and out with a fingerprint.
Cannot cash out unused vacation when you leave.
Not family-friendly.
