Pros

The customers are nice and some of the food isn't bad..

Cons

The franchise I work for is owned by one person but run by someone else. The person who manages the locations has very poor management skills and there is a lot of turnover. The turnover in the three locations, Pikesville, Timonium and Belair is due to her inability to manage people. Also people pay a lot more than they need to. The food is expensive enough. They do a hard sell to get you to spend unnecessary money which is usually about a thousand dollars or more. You can buy the food on line and avoid extra charges the frachises will get you for. They talk about a great work and life balance but you have to work every single Saturday so you never have two days off together.
