Pros

Worked here when I was in high school. The staff is very friendly and willing to train and be patient with you. Pay was consistent.

Cons

Ended up smelling like the food at the end of the day. Lunch and dinner time are the "rush" hours. I learned a lot of patience with people and learned to be quick on my feet and communicate with my co workers.

Pros

Decent pay, owners love their employees, they take all GMs and up to Hawaii every 2 yrs for a conference

Cons

All upper management in west Texas are lazy, and want us to do what they say not what they do! They create a huge hostile environment. "100% intensity and work ability" is what they want but how can we put 100% when the Mum, ACO,rdo, VPO and zip only put 50%? Something is not right! And when we don't put 100% they threaten our jobs... Who would want to work in that environment?!
