Pros

Career Growth opportunities as long as you are able to put in some (seriously) hard work. Was about to be promoted to Assistant Manager before I left.

Cons

If you're a hard worker they'll push you to do double shifts (10am to 6pm, then to midnight), ask you to come in early, you really got to be dedicated to move up.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
