Pros

Good opportunities for people with little job experience, decent starting pay for cooks, and good food for when you want to have your employee meal.

Cons

-Terrible management, have been through 6 General Managers in the last year. -No stability, schedule is usually not posted until Sunday night, schedule is always shifted around, it is hard to get days off. -Turn over is above 200% -Horrible work environment, drug addicts, and lazy employees. -Work behavior is disruptive to the stores progress. -Morning prep is never enough to last the store through the day, causing problems for the night crew.

Relatively flexible schedule... coworkers were great too

Very demanding as you are usually the only person performing in one area. Mgmt is typically reluctant to help.
