Pros

Based on my experience, and that of other employees I have spoken with recently can't think of a significant pro to working for this company, unless you happen to desire a steady discount for mediocre hamburgers.

Cons

-No lunch or meal program (most restaurants provide meals for staff on duty or after their shift. Smashburger only provides a discount, which given the hourly salary, and less than reliable hours, is an insult). -Horrible hours (full time employees barely getting 20 hours, before being cut for low business) -Questionable staff (drug use, slackers, no-call/no-shows, etc.) with no corrective action taken leaving it on "reliable" staff to tow the line and do extra work with no acknowledgement or compensation. -Overall more of a challenging place to work with little reward. Not enjoyable at all.

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.
