Pros

Good Benefits, Great bonus plan in place, if you can achieve better results than previous quarters.

Cons

Very poor work/life balance. 50 hours required turns into 60 hours, sometimes more, if you're not one of the managers that just dips out during rushes (which I could never do to my team), Physically demanding, Lots of constant changes from higher departments, lack of consistency from District Managers, High turnover rate, Hard to meet labor matrix, Poor training in place for managers, Low pay rate for hourly employees.

Pros

There isn’t many pros about this company besides it helps you grow in a kitchen if trained properly.

Cons

Management is a joke, Teamwork is a joke. Manager’s will be on their phones while you’re only one cook in the back running everything and never offer to help and when they do it’s barely any. The higher ups will expect so much out of you and run you into the ground with work then wonder why you’re so burnt out. It doesn’t feel like a job but more like torture working here and that’s just a start of what goes on here.
