Pros

Management team is awesome. The benefits are very good, especially the insurance option, which is great. Starting pay for management and bonus potential is great. Flexible working hours, so if you're a student, a parent or have another job management will work within your availability. Have a lot of money to back up their vision.

Cons

Can be difficult working with guests, as with all other food service jobs. Managers can work long hours with no praise and little to no appreciation. All stores are corporate so you answer to people you may not even know, which means little room for mistakes---I think they forget, or never knew in the first place, what it's like to actually work at the store level.
