Pros

You learn how to work, open, and close every station, enhance your flexibility skills, no minimum wage here, really cool people, nearly impossible to get fired unless you don't show up, you apply by getting application in store which makes your chances of getting job increase compared to online applications.

Cons

Random work schedule (you could have applied for afternoons only and find out you work 3 morning shifts without anyone asking), sometimes random weekly hours (you can have 33 one week then 18 the next, then 28 the next). Job really only benefits teenager and fresh college students.

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.
