Pros

Benefits, pay, holidays off, original restaurant was great as was the crew, "canes love"

Cons

The Area Leader is never in the restaurant, feedback was contradictory. I was held more accountable for the restaurants performance than the RL. Crew call crew relations over anything and everything and don't bring their concerns to manager. The RL doesn't enforce or follow standards but requires other managers to. RL was a liar and manipulative. Goals are unobtainable and it sucks working so hard for it to never be good enough. Work life balance became non existent as there was never time at the restaurant to get schedule and other things done so had to work at home on top of working 60+ hours in restaurant running shift.

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.
