Pros

Easy to get into. Money is pretty good.

Cons

If you do well they tend to take advantage and overwork you. No opportunity for advancement. Broken promises about advancement. Too many politics, there are obvious favorites. Franchise owners tend to safeguard the management rather than the employee. You're just another figure to them

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
