Pros

Not a regular fast food job. Accountability and responsibility is placed on everyone. Very positive/constructive environment. Very high incentives to move up in the company. Very team/camaraderie based. Very fast paced (you will never be bored or count down time till the end of your shift). VERY high standards, easily the cleanest and most well run restaurant I have ever worked in. Best job you could get w/o experience.

Cons

Very hard work. Pay as crew member until you move up (which is VERY realistic) is 8.50/hr. At the end of the day its a hot sweaty, very fast paced, stressful food/beverage job. Can easily become your life if you let it (quite avoidable if you put your foot down w/scheduling)

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
