Pros

fresh vegetables cut in house daily, high standard for food quality, diversity, easy to get raised if you are willing to learn both front and back of the house, you can work at other stores to get more hours besides your home store.

Cons

ridiculous amount of work you have to do each day, pressure from the upper management to take classes like the Landmark (regardless you care about this or not) if you want to move up

free food, good pay, paid 10 min break, work with school schedule

Cons

Long hrs, from 10-12 pm, , give 15 hr a week but then they will call you in on your school days and will get upset if you say no. customers are very rude, so much food you'll gain weight because you have a free meal when you take a break.very strict
