Pros

Awful compassion towards the mentally ill so no not a pro. I had no food at home so at least I got free burgers. Cause your employees can't even afford it

Cons

You have sons and daughters. You are human beings. I am someone's daughter. Sick, poor, and frail. And I was pushed out of your company for my "bad attitude." Im sure if your secret shoppers knew that I witnessed the death of my father at 19, they'd cut me some slack. I'm only 21 and have been working non stop ever since to provide and be strong for my family. Terrible work support.

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.
