I worked for cactus for 3 years, it was full of headaches and heartbreak. Its a huge rat race if you are trying to make a career out of it and unless you are good at fitting in they treat you like garbage, It used to be a great company to work for but have become soulless and conglomorate with a Hitler esque attitude towards human relations.

However, they are just as organized and meticulously managed as the Third Reich itself, so on the upside if one of your annoying coworkers isnt keeping up they wont be there for long, if the equipment is old or broken it gets replaced with the best of the best spare no expense, If the schedules arent up a week in advance the kitchen manager gets sent to Auschwitz, ect...

They do make the most money out of any high end casual rest. and they are shrewd with tips and wages, so if you do apply good luck! these places really do work for some people, usually those who where pretty and popular in school or a very highly motivated chef Feenie wannabe. Id advise regular people to look elsewhere!
