Pros

Free food, secret shopper bonuses, and definitely a wake up call to the fast paced work environment.

Cons

Minimum wage for very hard labor. Managers think they are on top of the world. Anyone who tends to be successful, is very cocky.

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.
