Pros

Fast paced work environment. Very easy work overall. Good job for people who love working on a team. If you work hard, it is easy to move up in the work place.

Cons

Management & higher ups do not seem to care for their employees. Pay is too little for the amount of work they expect out of crew members. I have worked there 10 months and not once been given the opportunity for a raise, I make minimum wage. Managers do not talk to you one on one about your work performance. A lot of gossip between managers & co-workers, specifically about other crew members. A very toxic and negative environment behind the scenes. If you are unhappy working, they do not care. No set schedule either. I went from 35 hours to 24 in one week.

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.
