Pros

Guests are fun to be around. Birthday parties can be a lot of fun when you are catering to only one party at a time.

Cons

Usually understaffed due to corporate wanting to save a dollar to make the bottom line better for themselves and their bonuses. There really is no concern for the guest or staff from a district manager or higher. Due to under-staffing, you have to usually do the job of more than one person. You work very hard hoping to get recognition, but to no matter how hard you work, when review time comes, you may as well get a kick in the face. You are rated on a scale of 1-5 and weather you are a 1 or 5, they give you the same amount in a raise which amounts to nothing.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
