Pros

The pay is pretty good for first year out of college student the higher you move up the pay increases significantly you can be off of work by 230 every day if everyone shows up on time you have to do something completely dumb to get fired 3 vacations per year

Cons

24hr 365 job even on your off days you work a 6-2 which is work 6 days then off two except holidays which is a 7-1 you work every holiday and i mean every holiday you still manage the store even when your not there and your off hiring people is harder then it looks and when you do the cream of the crop is not to creamy. upper management is generic all they care about is store profits regardless of how you have to get it. my store was robbed 3 times in 7 months. the security here is awful they want to write up everybody for everything pushing employees away and bad mouthing the company which makes it even harder to hire. upper management shows favoritism The pay plan constantly changes for the worse you are a highly paid cook!!!! you are in position to cook, serve and manage all at the same time while ordering trucks, controlling theft, and doing schedules and health inspection evaluations daily. all in all doooo not work here unless you have absolutely no life, no kids, no husband r wife, or no options

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
