Pros

The crew i am working with is amazing, really friendly and always willing to have fun. Managers are approachable. The career opportunities are high, however that does not mean you will get much of a higher salary. Free meal when on shift.

Cons

After some months most of the good people had left to another job. The percentage of people who quit is very high. It may be due to the amount of hard work you must put into the job, management not being able to properly manage or making bad decisions and also the low wage. No discounts given to employees or any benefits at all.

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.
