Pros

Great place to learn about Italian food and wine.

Cons

The company is really cheap. They only give a 20% discount to employees on food and 10% on wine. They have one restroom for 700 employees to use. They offer insurance but its so pathetic that most buy their own. Mangers have to work 9 hour shifts and have to pay for any meals that they eat. And you don't make enough money there to buy anything they sell. The only time they are busy with exception of pizza and Pasta is on weekends.

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
