Pros

If you're passionate about the quick service restaurant industry, then this is a great place to work with one caveat - stay in restaurant operations.

Cons

The corporate office has a very different culture than the restaurant operations. This review is from the corporate office perspective. They have worked hard in an attempt to paint a picture of the culture by defining a set of values, guiding principles and a lofty vision statement - Great Company, Great Burger. However, from my experience, it seems their actions and processes do not align with those words. The culture is reminiscent of the Orwell book 1984 - lots of "doublethink", groupthink and leadership by intimidation and/or exercise of power/authority.

Benefits and bonus (when you can actually make it)

Managerial favoritism makes it impossible to go anywhere. Virtually no work-life balance.
