Local manager is great, easy to get time off and they are flexible. Employees will help you out if your try

Managers under the GM are terrible, the corporate staff are idiots who don't have a clear understanding of how to run a restaurant

Pros

The community and atmosphere was good. At my restaurant, they were extremely flexible with giving you time off when you needed it.

Cons

Complaining waitresses, sometimes not enough praise after you work hard or do a good job. The pay was minimum wage, but I guess that's kind of expected.

Pros

Was always fun place to work. Hours were god and great customers. Several locations so you could advance quick if willing to relocate

Cons

Food quality was not the best. Focus a little to much on numbers and not on the people. Sales were down.
