Pros

advancement for anyone willing to work for it, bonus money available from day one for every employee

Cons

As of 2/1 all facial hair must be removed, all employees must be clean shaven. For a chain that calls a unisex tee shirt and baseball cap a uniform and pays minimum wage this is a joke

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.
