Pros

Follow strict guidelines for running the restaurant, which keeps it VERY clean at all times, yet still a laid back atmosphere and fun place to work. the managers were great, they always knew what they were doing and made sure each employee knew what he/she was to do. Never any confusion, always fair. The best part about working there was the people i worked with, including the managers. I actually looked forward to work each day because the people i worked for/with were decent and fair at all times. I would recommend this job to anyone, and I am considering going back soon.

Cons

My only wish while I worked there was that I be allowed to miss a day without having found someone to substitute for me in advance. This would have been nice in case I suddenly became sick or something urgent came up and I didn't have time to find a sub. Luckily this was not an issue for me, but I could see that happening in the future.

Pros

Positive atmosphere when general managers and/or owners are present.

Cons

Low pay, poor sales at night, short staffed during night shifts, management is unconcerned about the difficulty of the job when they are not present and uses all of the labor for their shifts. Lots of nepotism involved in promotions.
