Pros

With all the locations in the Richmond area there is greater opportunity for relocation and advancement. The medical/benefits package offered is better than most corporate restaurants in this area.

Cons

As a manager; long hours with no compensation for time exceeding fifty hours / week, the hourly labor budget is so low you end up doing all the work yourself, the bonus program is designed to only be hit by stores in high volume areas.

Pros

It's a job that pays money There is some promotion potential Some of the people are cool to work with cool guests

Cons

Management sucks, hours are whenever they want you to be there, you can work till 3AM then be back at 6AM for a "volunteer" assignment, Corporate makes all types of rules and only cares about rules.

Pros

They microwave almost ALL of their food so there isnt a lot of cooking required. They furnish all shirts without charging oyu.

Cons

Management is some of the most incompetent I have ever had the displeaure of working with. They do not understand the concept of cooking since they microwave pretty much everything.
