      Pros

      Hours were good, money not bad, great systems for training and developing staff and managers

      Cons

      With the financial crisis you saw lots of corners cut to make money. The staffing pars were way to low so 80% of your day was in an hourly roll.

      Pros

      Salary was good for the industry. Worked many years for a great Area director. Until regions were switched.

      Cons

      Leadership team that lacks the understanding to run sit down restaurants, squeezing profit out of the buildings at the expense of guest service, unrealistic budgets, creates core values (employer of choice) yet has no meaningful action to make this reality, HR is biased and associates with staff outside of business, constant changes to leadership, leadership came from another restaurant and has moved most original staff out to hire friends from last restaurant franchise (TGIF), high accountability with no support, concerned with looking good instead of being good. (Don't work for TSFR AppleVenture).
