Pros

Ability to grow in company All senior management is promoted from within, all of your bosses have been in your position before performance based salary 3.5 weeks vacation time Stock options and stock purchase plans Insurance benefits Weekend off every 6 weeks(big deal in the restaurant business) Being a fixture in the community, getting to be in the people business and getting to know everyone. As a unit manager, you are the owner in every aspect except paying the rent. Great support system from senior management.

Cons

Working holidays. If your not organized and able to recruit, hire and retain quality associates, you will be working a lot.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
