Pros

Good hourly pay rate, free lunch and drinks. If you are someone who likes being on their feet all the time, it's perfect for you.

Cons

Wouldn't be truthful about what the contract was, as it was advertised as full-time and part-time, only to be a zero hour one instead. Dishonest about your performance, management decides your fate based on one shift only, not offering any further help for you to progress and train you properly. Wouldn't recommend unless you have relevant experience and nerves of steel. You will probably sign a used contract too.

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.
