Pros

Fast paced environment, straight forward menu with easy comprehension of inventory. Its a fun customer based company with a lot of room for advancement. High standards for a quick service restaurant.

Cons

Organization and training is something left to be desired. Growth is rapid as well as turnover leaving voids in multiple units. Everything is FG standard which leaves little room for creativity. Quarterly Steritech Audits are a constant worry for GM's.

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.
