Pros

Great atmosphere to work with, the people behind the line are even better. Great advancement opportunity in the individual stores. Good quality fiood to serve and eat.

Cons

You can cap your advancement within the company. Individual stores are quick to promote, but once you've reached that level, it's finished. The work must be done hard, and to the point. You will be constantly pushed to continue, even if not thought possible.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
