Pros

Unfortunately I haven't worked there in over a decade. Last I worked there was sometimes around 2010 or so. Pros, free food?

Cons

Crappy pay. Long hours. As kitchen manager I was paid $10 an hour to manage inventory, manage crew, come in at 7am to open and sometimes work doubles when people would call out and close at 11 (even the GM, AM and SM didn't work these works). Was not allowed overtime. Had to constantly clock out early in case someone didn't show up then I would have to come in on my day off. Really, not worth it all for $10/hr. Minimum wage hasn't gone up at all so I would assume it's probably the same pay now. Really not worth it in today's economy. Rent has more than doubled. Can't buy a house on $10 an hour. But, you wanted my opinion even though I can't give a recent opinion of labor costs. My opinion is that any job still offering less than $18-20/hr, even fast food, should be illegal. You cant live on this kind of pay and they can absolutely afford to pay it with their record profits every year. This goes for ALL employers.

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
