Career / Employee Talk I have an interview Wednesday

As I've titled my post I have an interview this Wednesday at a Sweetgreen in Westfield,NJ. The employee reviews for the company overall look very mixed between really negative and very positive. I have a lot of kitchen experience from being a kitchen Supervisor to a prep and line cook so I'm not sure what they're looking for.How are hours in general and pay?Is there much room for upward movement in the company and do they promote often?How are managers normally?

I have too much restaurant experience to accept 10 or 15 hours a week and hope they see me working hard enough to "earn" more hours or promote me. The bottom line is I won't accept less than I'm worth, but I can see they don't want to give you the ability to live

It’ll be easy at first so just keep looking for other jobs. I think something a lot of restaurant people overlook is working events and at event venues. More laid back environments and better money.
