Pros

Free food Decent pay when you have no experience in anything else.

Cons

They work you to the bone. They now care more about money and looking good instead of caring about the folks they serve/work with and actually doing a good job. The company used to emphasize the value of building the crew members into shift leaders and future GM's to grow and expand the business. Now the biggest non monetary concern for upper management involving the crew is arranging the daily operation so they always have someone to throw under the bus when things go wrong.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
