Pros

- Starting at about 9 dollars an hour keeps you a buck above Taco Bell or other fast food. - All the free food you want on your 15 minute break. - Employee discount

Cons

- Only Mexican management, completely racist towards white employees. Welcome to washing tables floors and windows your entire time. - Cannot bring any food home from your break, you have 15 minutes to go to the bathroom, check your phone, stand in line to get your food and eat it. God help you if you're a smoker and need a cigarette. - Schedule was NEVER up on time. Had to call in every Sunday night to find out if I was working on Monday. Good luck making any plans, ever. - Inappropriateness and unprofessionalism due to poor management and HR policies.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
