Pros

Good coworkers and a free meal every day And bonuses up to 4 a month

Cons

Bust your but all day for minimum wage then they use secret shoppers to scare you into submission. Then dangle fifty dollar bonuses in front of you like a carrot. And you bust your but because you need all the bonuses to make the same as a 14 year old mcdonalds cashier. But then you don't get them because some entitle d bag says you didn't smile enough. You only get paid every other week so they tax the crap out of your check. And they will fire you for some little nonsense. I've seen 3 people fired since I started working there a mo th ago.

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.
