Pros

-Average pay by comparison, $30-35k, no commision (base negotiable based on exp) -Opportunity to learn several aspects of running a business -Fast pace environment, always moving & working in several departments -Flexibility with scheduling, as long as you are fully staffed -If you enjoy cooking, you will never be bored, several recipe items prepared from scratch

Cons

-No growth opportunity at a franchise store -Hours can be long, 5 days at 10 hour per day is average. If understaffed, can be 12-14 hour days -Franchise stores: no benefits, no health, no 401k, 1 week vacation if you are fully staffed -Upper management probably varies per store, but this store currently ran poorly -Work varies from day/night shifts, open everyday but Christmas, weekend work is a must

Pros

Flexible schedule, can work when you can, great co workers, and management is not always over you. Friendly family environment and Discount price for food.

Cons

The people that go in complain of the food being cold, or bad but only after they ate four plates then leave a great mess and no tip!

Some co-workers weren't very nice(you'll have that anywhere), owner will complain if you don't greet everyone who walks through the door.
