Pros

Great atmosphere; opportunity to work with a team that is dedicated to providing quality service and product, while still having fun. You also get to interact with a lot of different people every day. Management when I was there was very approachable, helpful, dedicated, and fun to work with. I loved coming to work every morning, and would have stayed longer if I hadn't moved away to college.

Cons

It's a very high-energy and fast-paced place, so that can be tiring if you aren't used to being on your feet and being active all day.

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.
