Pros

you get to eat food for a discount unless you’re cool with the kitchen staff and they give you free food. there’s literally no positive experience to working here.

Cons

the managers expect you to treat Donlad Link and Steve Stru-whatever as kings. the managers indulge in substance use and cannot handle their own. you’re expected to be a functioning drug addict. FOH managers micromanage. there’s no respect, boundaries, or emotional safety. to them, ur worthless and replaceable.

Pros

Amazing food, deeply talented work force, some incredible chefs and the CEO and owners are deeply professional and personally responsible people.

Cons

most of the restaurant level chefs and general managers are failing to adapt to the new attitude of the labor force and are often caught in compromising displays of hypocrisy, belaying all the issues central to the link group. its gotten large enough to need more than just restaurant smarts, there are hundreds of young people seeking to advance their careers through the Link Group and rightly so. its a large corporate institution that employs hundreds of people and there deserves to be some meritocracy and democracy within the individual restaurants that is not bottle necked by one CDC with the capacity to play favorites and use deceptive management practices to inhibit the personal needs and wellbeing of their staff.

Pros

Mangers revive free health insurance and a spending stipend for dining in the group, all employees are eligible for insurance and 401k over time, continuing beverage education is a priority for FOH staff.

Cons

Drinking culture is super toxic, overbearing management. Salary is awful for the amount of hours expected. Work life balance for managers is rough.
