Pros

Great if you want to build muscle Co-workers are great and friendly Good starter job as you need to be a friendly and satisfy customers

Cons

Not really a bad thing but you need to know that working here is a very hands on experience, you’ll be lifting heavy containers such as five gallon buckets full of water and fries, stocking up on cups and such At my store there’s a lot of maintenance that needs to be done and such

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.
