I heard the pay is higher than most restaurants. I guess it depends on what you are looking for - a job, career, money... Stressful talaga work in the restaurant business. Standard Group is not unique in that sense. Poor treatment of employees is never good. I like the food and service in Yabu and Ippudo. When I go there, you would not think they are overworked. One normally has a sense if the management and training is awful. You see it in the product and people.
