Business Outlook

Pros

Higher starting pay than most other fast food restaurants. Good tasting and fairly healthy food. Decent breaks.

Cons

Management focuses more on what the higher ups want instead of great customer service or employee treatment. Too much pushing of the brand identity and corporate lingo.

Low pay but fair amount of hours for a fast food job, some cooking skills I took from there helped me cook at home.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good amount of hours, shift hours were good, great food, learn to cook better. Managers were usually really helpful/understanding if you needed time off, needed leave early, couldn't come in etc.

Cons

low pay, management was sort of abusive, and they also expected you to do way more than what they would pay you for, but because it's fast food thats not really their fault, they can replace you.
