Pros

Worked here through high school. Easy restaurant work except for the dishwasher. The sauces get stuck to the trays and you pretty much need boiling water to take off dry sauce off the tray! Went from fried rice/chow mein/dishwasher to prep and main cook. As the main cook, you will be making everything on the menu except fried rice and chow mein and spring rolls/veggie rolls. Very fast pace during lunch hour and drive through is always busy! Our boss also gave us coins from the year of the chinese calender.

Cons

Restaurant pay. When done with shift, you will smell like oil/orange chicken. The aprons are provided but they always have a funky smell.

Lots of development and investment in managers and team. A lot of personal development and financial opportunity available.

Work Life Balance is something you have to strive for but we have recognized need for growth in this area and we are striving to make a difference!
