Pros

Great food, one free meal, and possible extra money. You can earn almost $100 bucks when someone from the company comes in (you won't know it's them) and orders something and if all proper procedures are followed you get extra money on your pay check.

Cons

At times pretty fast paced and hectic. Cashiers can't delete items. Meaning if someone changes there mind about what size fry they want you have to call a manager to come delete it. This happened a lot with me because people would assume it's one size and then I show them and they are still content but at the last second they are having second thoughts.

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.
