Pros

Some fun team members, job isn't terrible but they expect you to do so much more than what you're paid for I think. Free meals and you get a ton of breaks if you're new.

Cons

When you need to work and there is not even people coming in. They put you on break and if you're in highschool trying to make some cash part time. How do you make money when you're on break for 2 hours on a 4 hour shift? It's stupid!!

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.
