Pros

Free meals, a great place to make new friends. Its a fast food job, so it is what it is.

Cons

Very long hours and demanding job. For the amount of money employees make, they expect a lot and want you to care about the company. Working multiple 12 hour days in a row is rough. Not a bad temporary job, but a career here is too demanding, and scheduling is all over the place, so work life balance is bad. GM's are afraid of upper management and detail clean worthless things (like the calculator) because they are trying to brownnose. Worthless, fake, cheesy corporate values. Also their new slogan of cooking "food with passion" and "service with heart" is extremely fake amd cheesy. Someone ay corporate came up with it and thoughy highly of themselves, even though it is a fake worthless slogan that employees wont (and shouldnt) take seriously.
