Pros

Hardworking team in the kitchen.

Cons

Menus are not recipe tested so its sometimes a gamble as to whether they will work or not in class. I also hate that i am asked to push products and make sales when there is no incentive but the resident chef makes a bonus if we, their staff, make our sales goals.
