Pros

You do make tips at the end of every shift. They usually promote managers from the crew members so there is a chance to move up if you work hard.

Cons

It can get very hot standing by or near a hot grill all day. And you always leave smelling like a burger.

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.
