Pros

If you're passionate about the quick service restaurant industry, then this is a great place to work with one caveat - stay in restaurant operations.

Cons

The corporate office has a very different culture than the restaurant operations. This review is from the corporate office perspective. They have worked hard in an attempt to paint a picture of the culture by defining a set of values, guiding principles and a lofty vision statement - Great Company, Great Burger. However, from my experience, it seems their actions and processes do not align with those words. The culture is reminiscent of the Orwell book 1984 - lots of "doublethink", groupthink and leadership by intimidation and/or exercise of power/authority.

Pros

At the Kingsfield and Highway 29 Location, I found that the people I worked with made it worth it. The rush hours were sometimes quite fun when everyone was flowing well. Pay raises are yearly with your annual review. They encourage moving up in the company.

Cons

Customer Service can be terrible for your mental health. I received a 20-cent pay raise, though it was for one year.
