Pros

Not a regular fast food job. Accountability and responsibility is placed on everyone. Very positive/constructive environment. Very high incentives to move up in the company. Very team/camaraderie based. Very fast paced (you will never be bored or count down time till the end of your shift). VERY high standards, easily the cleanest and most well run restaurant I have ever worked in. Best job you could get w/o experience.

Cons

Very hard work. Pay as crew member until you move up (which is VERY realistic) is 8.50/hr. At the end of the day its a hot sweaty, very fast paced, stressful food/beverage job. Can easily become your life if you let it (quite avoidable if you put your foot down w/scheduling)

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
