Pros

Zero--and keep my review anonymous please!!

Cons

This is probably one of the worst experiences of my life. This Company comes off so attractive, because of their food, and selling nostalgia but TOTALLY without a heart to it. They are mercenary, abusive, degading, rude, inconsiderate, and unappreciative to all employees. You will be just a warm body to make them money. I watched each day, the abuse, and most employees would end up in tears. Some would walk out. The company breaks the labor laws, with no breaks or lunches, and no pay to get into costume. I watched customers come to me, because they had heard the abuse in the kitchen, first hand, or because an emplot told them, and several said that they had not heard such demoralization size them being in the war, as customers are high perceeof veterans, and they do not even give vetere a discount! PLEASE dont work here!

Pros

Most coworkers were genuinely great to work with and made shifts more enjoyable. * The guest interaction and serving aspect of the job is something I personally enjoy. * Some shifts could be positive depending on staffing and team on duty.

Cons

*Management was often unprofessional with inconsistent communication and expectations. * Certain coworker behavior occasionally affected morale and created a less positive work environment. * There was a noticeable blame culture where issues were not handled in a constructive way. * In my experience, bringing up workplace concerns or uncomfortable situations did not always feel welcomed or supported, and it sometimes felt like speaking up led to negative attention. * Scheduling and hours were inconsistent, making it hard to rely on stable income. * Inconsistent scheduling sometimes resulted in difficult shift patterns, including working split doubles (such as 9–3 followed by a 4–close shift), which often meant not getting out until around 10:30 PM and then repeating the pattern on consecutive days. * Training was limited, and expectations were often unclear, which made the job more stressful than it needed to be. * In my experience, HR concerns or formal complaints did not feel like they were taken seriously or addressed in a meaningful way.
