Pros

flexibility of the schedules. i worked my way through college, and they were very open for my school schedule. The people were a lot of fun to work with, i met a lot of friends from my school that worked with me at the store.

Cons

very corporate work environment, and lower earning potentional then other jobs. the amount of time for the money wasn't worth it to me.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
