Pros

Free food and easy work.

Cons

If you go to school as well as work a job this is not the place for you. They advertise about tuition reimbursement but have no sympathy is you call in late due to school, they will just tell you not to show up. While they are flexible with hours my schedule was incorrect 90% of the time. They do not advise employees of last minute schedule changes, and if you don't show up because of that they will not call you to see if you are still coming in. Very little training and you are blamed if you do something minorly wrong even with little to no training on it.

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.
