Pros

Provide free lunch/dinner. Their cleanliness is far above any other food business I know of.

Cons

No room for advancement. Top management cares more about their bonus' then employees. The treat every employee as disposable. Make one mistake and you could be fired. Theres no job security.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
