      Pros

      Very laid back environment and time off policies. Has flexible shifts. Has great secret shopper bonuses, nice add on to payrolls.

      Cons

      Little too laid back, training was inadequate as you learn while on the job. Management could of managed better, pay is very little almost minimum wage. Hours were heavily watched.

      Pros

      You're encouraged to have fun at your job. It's an open kitchen and they encourage this so the guests are entertained and it's a good experience overall. They were very flexible with scheduling at all 3 locations I worked at. The food is actually good quality and fresh, and it's a lot more enjoyable to sell good stuff to people than so-so quality.

      Cons

      In a training video, one of the company owners actually called his employee base, "these kids." It hit home because that's how I felt working there- like I was expected to be a college KID being halfway supported by mommy and daddy. My location paid shift leaders (key holders, bank drops, food orders, inventory, run whole crew, etc etc) only 9/hr. I stepped down due to my GM screaming in my face, and then I switched stores. After 3yrs at that location I was told that I could not get any more raises- 8.60 was already too close to shift leader wages and that's that. I finally told them I was interested in shift leading again, got it, was guaranteed 40hrs and then given 20.

      Pros

      Some fun team members, job isn't terrible but they expect you to do so much more than what you're paid for I think. Free meals and you get a ton of breaks if you're new.

      Cons

      When you need to work and there is not even people coming in. They put you on break and if you're in highschool trying to make some cash part time. How do you make money when you're on break for 2 hours on a 4 hour shift? It's stupid!!
