Pros

- You meet great people and truly learn how to be a part of a team - Of course, the free meals any time you're scheduled to work and the 50% discount at the store you work at on your off days (I promise, if you take advantage of this benefit as much as I did, you will hate the food after a while) - If you stay there for a year, you are eligible for tuition reimbursement, so if you are in school or have a desire to go back to school, this works for you - The pay is better than what you'd probably get at any other fast food business -They'll train you on anything that you desire, so you'll learn how the store operates; this advantage can also lead to quicker promotions (especially if you're a top performer) -The fact that there are plenty of advancement opportunities

Cons

-Strict on sick/absence policy (they will fire you if you don't follow protocol) -Various changes (this only happens if you work at a low-performing store) -Some managers play favorites (also depends on the store you work at and if you're a top/low performer; didn't happen at my main store, but when I went to visit other stores, I could see it, clearly) -Can be demanding at times if your store is understaffed; however, you'll quickly learn how to manage things after this happens a couple of times

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
