Pros

Get paid every week and enjoy a daily food allowance. Tight knit envioronment so meeting your co-workers and regular guest isn't a problem

Cons

Cramped working conditions. Feels as if the customers are way too close to the cooking area. Since it is small have to keep personal life out of the workplace and try not to become too familiar with everyone else at the job (co-workers and customers alike).

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
