Pros

Food is made fresh every day, ingredients are kept on the shelf for a relatively short time compared to other restaurants. They order fresh ingredients often. Very strict on cleanliness standards.

Cons

Coworkers were openly talking about drugs and crimes they committed, as well as discriminatory remarks against the LGBT community, mental illness, and a few different races. Not a great work environment.

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.
