Pros

Work as a team- your higher ups can and will work just as hard if not harder than you. Be valued- your energy, attitude, hustle, and strength will be appreciated through more hours, pay, training, and opportunities. Have pride- be part of a successful company that knows their product is the best. Top quality or bust! Fun!- singing, laughing, and shouting in a fast-paced restaurant every day.

Cons

Hard work- if you aren't used to standing all day, let alone moving around, lifting, etc, this will be challenging. Just as tough as any other restaurant, but with high standards of cleanliness & food safety. Expect to participate in this type of hard work even when moving up.

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.
