      Pros

      Stable hours, not very stressful..time off is honored even after schedules are put out. Very flexible. Character growth

      Cons

      Not much to learn...each position is very basic.. there's only essentially 4 crew positions (Cashier, Expeditor, Assembly, and Grill) at which point your focus is to develop your own style of completing each basic task. Nobody really monitors you unless there is a fiasco. Personal lives are thrown around often, as there isn't much to do aside from talk. Quoted from an actual store manager, "I can't hire her: She's too dedicated (Girl is studying the menu after an interview). "He'll do what I want him to do. He's been here for 15 years and where the hell else will he go?"

      Pros

      Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
