Pros

Great food! Above average wages. Very respected brand guests really go batty for the food. Not scripted but clearly defined service standards. Attracts good hard working crew. Fun atmosphere and easy uniform. Fast paced.

Cons

High almost unattainable corporate brand expectations create stressful environment especially for management. Franchise versus corporate mentality seems detrimental to positive results. Poor communication at many levels.
