Pros

Amazing learning environment. They really invested in their management team , through varies development learning sessions.

Cons

The expectations are extremely high. Managers only get 8 hours of time off the floor. This makes it extremely difficult to get everything finished in a reasonable time period. The best CEO I've ever worked for.

Pros

Great Brand recognition. Interesting work. Innovation all around. Fast paced. Good people

Cons

Good luck if you don't drink the coolaid. Tough place to challenge direction. Decisions are difficult to make at an individual level. Chaotic, and senior ranks take advantage of the crazy dedication partners have. It can feel like a cult.

Pros

There are so many perks and benefits to being a partner. On top of health care, stock, 401k, they now offer an education benefit that is hard to beat!! Perks, like LA Fitness discounts and Verizon Wireless discounts. The list goes on!!!

Cons

It's very competitive among partners and it is very hard work physically and mentally! Especially if you work in a high volume drive-thru store. Depending on your state, they start at minimum wage and their raises have become standardize, so it's not a single income job, unless you are an ASM or SM.
