Pros

Pay in cash every week, health care, dental, every 6 months you get a paid vacation, christmas bonus in cash, very good with scheduling enough hours.

Cons

Customers can be very rude and picky. Some don't even tip. Very fast paced and stressful, work is on your feet for all 7 hours, no food break or snack if busy. They dont like you to sit down, lots of cleaning and lifting.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
