You have to hold it for a period of time (vesting period) before it becomes unrestricted and you are free to do whatever you want with it.

If you leave the company before the vesting period is over, you lose the stock.

How to evaluate them? That's tricky. I guess the value you place on them will depend on a few things. How much potential you think the company has. How likely you are to stay at the company before the vesting period. Probably some other things I'm not thinking of.
