Pros

Training is simple and quick. Pay is competitive compared to other fast food restaurant industries. Time goes by fast because restaurant is always busy. Can eat for free while working there as much as you want! 50% discount on food when off-duty (only once a day, for yourself)

Cons

Limited amount of roles. Can get pretty repetitive after awhile. The hours are inflexible because everybody wants to good hours. Not much for growth or leadership other than bossing around people slightly below you.

Pros

Free meal during time working. Teaches you great knife skills. I respect and admire how much work goes into the food preparation. Great way to gain management experience. The company as a whole stands for really great things. I wish that my time here was different.

Cons

1. a lot of work is expected of employees. So much that even if you finished your work by the company standard, you moved too slow. Inconsistent standards from a company that preaches consistency. The minute you feel that you understand your job everything changes. Jacksonville managers are crazy. Say one thing and then do another. Kitchen Manager role is very difficult. You will never ever meet the expectations they want from you, even if you work 80 hours a week. The other managers are quick to find fault in everything you do, but then when they do something wrong it is also the kitchen manager's fault. This was too stressful of a job for $11 an hour. Things do not look like they are improving for the future.
