Pros

Working here is a lot of fun, the environment is very fun and lighthearted and because the job requires a lot of communication among the team members there are a lot of chances to crack jokes, etc. to keep the mood up. The job also provides lots of experience as the only position are Crew, Manager, and General Manager. Almost everyone will get a chance to do everything in the store at some point.

Cons

There is a lot of work and depending on how busy the store is that day you may or may not get chances to take breaks from this. There are also, potentially long periods of time over a hot grill or fryer with no chance to drink any water.

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.
