Pros

We utilize the best in industry available technology. Our kitchen is a well oiled machine and rarely goes down. In terms of overall financial stability the company is posed for long term growth.

Cons

They don't allow overtime for hourly employees. The company has gotten so large (161 units) that any decisions must pass through many layers of bureaucratic tape, therefore managers are discouraged to bring about any positive change in the company. The attitude is "this is the way we have always done it and it trickles down. Employees receive little to no recognition for their individual contributions. It is very high stress and low respect.
