Pros

The managers in my store were really freindly and nice people. It was a steady job and good hours as long as you did your work. You can have a day off if you need it. OK for a high school or summer job.

Cons

It was a dirty job. the servers didnt put the silver wares where they were supposed to and you have to dig through trash to get it. You do the same thing every day and it was really repetitive. Some people wernt team players and it just made your job harder.The pay wasnt as good as other restaurants in the area.

Pros

Good benifits. Positive atmosphere. Good food. Good start pay for a restaurant/retail.

Cons

Your average worker could work for the company for 10 YEARS and get a manager that trained for a couple monthes who would think they know more about the company. They literately expect you to be a salesperson (with no commission) and sell pure junk to people who don't need it. Your sales are calculated and you are disiplined each time sales are down... even if you have the 5:45am shift! Not understanding of emergencies. It is almost impossible to attain a third star (even if you have been there for years and your sales are good) because they would rather keep your pay low.
