Pros

-Good pay - they start you out at 9.50 an hour and give raises based on how long you work there. You get your first raise after just 6 months. -Opportunities for overtime and added hours -Good Hours- I was part time, and usually worked a good 30-35 hours a week. On a good week, when I was asked to cover or do overtime, I would actually clock in over 45 hours. -Discounts- You get a free meal when you work a shift and 50% off when you're off the clock. -Great coworkers -Great customers -Great training process -They encourage your progress and 100% feel that the goal is to get you to management -Never drug tests -No policy against tattoos/piercings

Cons

-Hard f-ing work- physically demanding if you are not young and in good health. You're on your feet the whole time regardless of what position. If you work on the line or on grill, the heat can suck. -You can only use discount at your location. -HARD to get a job there. There are a total of THREE interviews, which I feel is a bit much. They want the best though, so it makes sense.

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
