Pros

My supervisor is really nice and makes me feel appreciated and usually thanks me for doing something. We get free food while we're working. Tips. (Sometimes) Cool soda machine.

Cons

If employees forget to divide tips, we don't get them. My manager was very rude until a fellow coworker called corporate. In fact, he was so rude and I was so overwhelmed by ridiculously high expectations, that I cried just about every night the first few days working. All I ever do is sweep and clean. I get sent home early a lot of the time. Everyone tells me how to perform a task differently and I get yelled at for "not doing something right."

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.
