Pros

Great benefits: company car, laptop, cell phone. Opportunity to serve food with integrity. Fast paced environment and happy customer base.

Cons

Senior management is awful. They treat everyone like slaves and expect managers to work 60+ hours every week. The past two years I was only able to use half my vacation time! 2010 I used 1 of 3 available weeks and no one even batted an eye or said thanks. There is a true disconnect between the restaurants and regional staff and they provide very little support. I oversaw 2 restaurants and probably spent a total of 3 hrs a month with my Team Leader and even less with my Team Director. Food with integrity is something they have achieved.. now how about treating your people with integrity... The animals are treated better than the employees!!!!!!

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
