Pros

The team worked well together, and during busy times, we collaborated efficiently to handle rushes. I also gained a high level of understanding and efficiency with food safety rules, which was a valuable takeaway.

Cons

I observed that secret shopper visits seemed carefully orchestrated, which affected how performance was measured. This created a culture where only certain voices were prioritized, which made the work environment challenging.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
