Pros

Competitive pay and incentives, paid holidays off, room for advancements (in their new markets), higher ups respond to feedback well. If you are in a more mature market it can be a really fantastic place to work because there is more pride in the culture, standards are second nature to the crew members, and the business unit team are tenured. In the newer markets you can advance quickly if you put in the work.

Cons

This will really be determined by your market. In the older markets there is slower advancement because the leaders have been with the company for a long time, but the systems are better honed and the culture is better. In newer markets it's easier to advance (or to be hired as an external) but that can also mean working along side with people who were not completely ready for promotion, people who are still being developed, people who were bad hires, etc. Hours can be very long, standards can be difficult to reach quickly, goals are not always "S.M.A.R.T." from upper management, there can be an element of politics when asking for support.

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
