Pros

Very laid back environment and time off policies. Has flexible shifts. Has great secret shopper bonuses, nice add on to payrolls.

Cons

Little too laid back, training was inadequate as you learn while on the job. Management could of managed better, pay is very little almost minimum wage. Hours were heavily watched.

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.
