Pros

The menu is substantial enough, and always evolving. You never get bored of trying to find things to recommend to customers.

Cons

If you've ever wanted to experience working for truly passive aggressive management who have no concise plan for where to take the business, look no further. Sexual advances from management towards staff are common place. The largest issues in inter-staff relations, and employee performance are addressed with notes posted on the bulletin board, and there is rarely any constructive criticism offered where appropriate. Instead expect reprimands for issues never brought to the table before the boiling point. Not the way to grow and develop an effective team by any stretch of the imagination.

Pros

The managers are pretty laid-back which makes for an easy work environment. That is a restaurant so it can be high stressed but everybody handled their stress really well culture was really good as well.

Cons

Not a lot of cons as long as you can get along with different personalities
