Pros

Competitive pay compared to other fast food companies. Raise every 6 months Very flexible with scheduling You can be promoted very quickly if you kiss up

Cons

Low and inconsistent hours. Favoritism is present. New rules occasionally implemented by corporate mostly just make your job harder. LOTS of strict rules that lead to write ups and termination . Very low raises sometimes. Did I mention the inconsistent hours? As in, one week you could work 25(+)hrs and 10(-) the next. Customer service, as you know, can be... testing at times NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP TIPS

Pros

Great health benefits and great people to work with. It’s my second home and I can call my associates my family.

Cons

Long hours and no life/work balance. I spend more time at work than at home. Upper management can be harsh, but it really depends on who it is. If you are not good at working under pressure and at a fast pace environment do not work for this company. You will work crazy hours!!!!
