Pros

-You will meet awesome people. -Food is free when you make it into a management position. -If properly staffed, work could be fun and rewarding.

Cons

Challenges. Wow, where do I begin? -Employees are undervalued and overworked. (Especially if you are in a management position). -No flexibility whatsoever. -VERY stressful. -Corporate has unrealistic-and ridiculous-goals for labor and sales percentages. -Low pay rate. -No time for a LIFE. I am either at work, or running errands for work, or in meetings for work, or sleeping for work. -Never leave on scheduled time. Always am required to stay 2-3 more than scheduled.

Pros

- free, quality meal with each shift - 5-6 hr shifts, home by 11 pm (night shift) - overall not too hard - fun, mostly college-aged coworkers

Cons

- intentionally understaffed - no automated employee system to view schedule or pick up/drop shifts, not even a collective employee group-chat - poor management communication - management constantly silently firing employees, even employees they could easily fire through official process (have been forced to rehire fired coworkers because they didn't follow official firing process)
