Pros

Food is really good & you get a great discount. Co-workers are super friendly. Very flexible with scheduling the hours you want. Great atmosphere.

Cons

Training methods needs work. Management is awful at scheduling breaks for shifts. Also the next weeks schedule is put up only days before, way too short notice!

Pros

There were some great coworkers and some nice moments, but those can be found in any other food service job.

Cons

Dirty with bugs that weren't given the time of day by HR. The general managers were intense in a way of always being in a pissy mood.
