Pros

Good pay Free food Ability to move up

Cons

I quit after 7-8months. They treat you like a dog. Work/life balance nonexistent and terrible management. So much drama between workers too. Save yourself the headache.

Pros

When I worked there, they did pay you a little more than the competition at the time. I had one free meal per shift. The crew we had got along and liked each other for the most part. The company actively wishes to see you improve in some form. Strong culture of doing things properly.

Cons

Whoever your manager is can make or break your experience. Customers can be the worst. Typical workplace drama
