Pros

Good benefits, great culture, fun environment.

Cons

Very difficult to get promoted. Even with years of GM experience they preferred to higher externally and overwhelmingly hired external managers to run restaurants. Most of which didn't last more than a few months/weeks. A business should cultivate growth and encourage seeking out strong candidates for growth. They expect you to beg them for promotions. They say they want to only promote from within yet always end up going the opposite direction and hiring external just to have the same problems over and over again.

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
