Pros

You can get Work Experience Pay is great if you know the system Exposure is great as well, you'll be surprised who comes in to eat at your store! The benefits are wonderful! The best health insurance policy I've ever seen that's not USAA

Cons

Work-Life Balance is the real definition of terrific! Management only cares about the numbers (well in my area) Management will keep bad apples because of number game

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.
