Pros

The fast pace is exciting and keeps it from getting boring. High standards are challenging but not unmanageable. Depends on the store, but I have worked for two so far and have enjoyed both.

Cons

Claim to encourage empowerment and independent thinking but often quash such attempts in reality. Many rules seem to have been made by people who have never set foot in one of the restaurants. Don't have a whole lot of other work experience to base this on, but I hear that the work is harder and the pay is less here than some other places.

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
