Pros

Good Compensation and the Company has a wonderful Culture. Working for Corporate Wingstop is the best way to work in food. They are adamant that you do not work if you are on PTO; They have great sick leave policies and there is plenty of time off from year one (Management level or higher) Even regular Team Members get a decent amount of PTO per year. Only have to wait 6 months for benefits (team members, it's immediate for management level or higher)

Cons

(Reaching for this one but) Company is always changing and experimenting; you adapt or get left whether they make good or bad decisions. Other than that, it is an amazing company to work for. If you don't mind adapting constantly, you'll do amazing!
