Advancement from within- 30% of top management started as crew people in the restaurants Educational assistance Culture is relationship based Learn new things every day Get to work with some the smartest people in the industry and it's a team approach Learn to be a strong business person Ability to experience a wide range of experiences Get to work with and learn from the franchisees who run their own companies Pay is competitive Good benefits and long term incentives It's a fast paced, retail business that is ever changing so you never get bored They give you the "freedom within a framework" to craft how you do your job Regular annual performance reviews

Cons

Need to relish working in an ever changing environment Sometimes it takes a long time to make changes given the various levels Management often doesn't understand the issues faced at the lower levels

Pros

Everything has a very clear system which is nice so it's easy to pick things up and jump right in. They do a great job training and uniform is provided!

Cons

Menu changed way too much and POS system was rapidly changing. Work was not always distributed well. You could have one person just doing the bare minimum and another person working super hard and it would not get resolved.
