Very simple, mundane work. Hard to screw up. Free food with every shift.
Cons
Whoever works the register also has to keep the place clean at the same time, which is borderline impossible during busy days. If a secret shopper comes in during that time, you're getting a bad score for reasons that aren't your fault.

Thank you for the feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience for our team members and guests.
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.
