Pros

Easy to learn tasks and good on the job training. You learn how to grill a mean burger and make amazing fries. They'll also hire just about anyone, even if you're still in highschool.

Cons

Have to learn self control for when it comes to food. Saw several co-workers pack on some delicious pounds. The pay was minimum wage but then again what job(with no prior experience needed) doesn't pay the same?

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
