Pros

Scheduled me as much as I wanted Free meals every shift $11/hr + tips

Cons

GOD AWFUL management! Morning crew (including managers) were very clique Expect the closing shift to run until 12-12:30 Unless you beg to be switched, whatever position you start at is where you are for good Don't bother becoming a part of management because it's definitely not worth the extra $2/hr

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.
