Pros

I would say pay, but when I think ablout all the 60+ hours weeks work I made minium wage. As, a young college grad that looks good to have checks every two weeks 1300-1500. U may have a few employees that u can count on to help u when ur understaffed. I trying to think of good things to say, but I can't.

Cons

Long hours, no family or personal time. Immature and whinning staff. The pay is low, but look at what kinds of people that this company attracts. Ur overworked!! U live,sleep, breathe this company. The top pay for a grill operator is$8. I would scarfice my pay to pay grill op bonus without meeting my numbers. Pick up employees for work or be understaff and u will have to work. This is not a company to work for seriously.

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.
