Pros

Paid break, free food, good music, was easy to get an interview.

Cons

They hire 20 people and in a period of 3 months filter through them by firing 15 of them. If they can't find a reason to fire you they will give you 0 hours until you leave yourself. The whole management team seems like they barely got trained. The whole "chill" attitude is also annoying since it is fake and they try to force it on you.

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.
