Good in the beginning, but the Corp sold out to a franchisee..

Pros

It's a paycheck, benefits with Corp were good & stock shares for performance for RGM's and upper management. Hopefully it will be good with the new owners.. So far no 401 k, no bonus plan & only overpriced cobra, no vacation or sick plan.. I guess we were spoiled working for the Corp ..

Cons

Long hours, greasy environment lots and lots of cleaning, low pay for team members makes it hard to keep turnover down, not enough labor allowed to build the business.

Pros

There is a paycheck, Some members are nice and will let you shadow them. Some helpful customers. friendly faces. the door when i walk out.

Cons

worked endlessly. I wished the training was much more precise. I enjoyed helping and learning more but there were many things that were left unknown. I started helping orders, then making biscuits "which i am not supposed to do due to age", cleaning buffet, sweeping, cleaning bathrooms, and dealing with angry customers because of the lack of chicken in the buffet. I was never given a break although after I would walk in the back working hard I would spot other team members eating and drinking. My schedule sucks because she put me down for horrible hours that I told her I diddn't like. well, I enjoy having a job but if there were more than 4 people in the building there it would be very easy instead of not actually being a cashier.
