      Pros

      Cons

      Not enough employee development or corporate opportunities to grow

      The District at Green Valley Ranch location—Poor treatment, low morale, inept management, favoritism

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good food, decent employee discount on shift.

      Cons

      Poor management, GM feeds you complete fluff upon hiring but doesn’t follow through, they are feet draggers, they hold you back on training stations even if you’re beyond proficient and a fast learner, hence holding employees back on promotions unless you’re a favorite or friend of friend, in which case the GM will rush them through training to promote to a position they’re not proficiently trained for or qualified for. They treat team members with favoritism, most shift managers goof off during shifts, talk in office, dictate not assist during rushes and GM allows this behavior creating low morale and poor work environment. Promotion is a joke even if you are a hard and proficient worker if you are not of the favorites group. Drama. GM is a problem, does nothing to make it a better work environment, just sits in office while everything goes on around him that employees have brought to his attention as issues. And then the GM wonders why people quit and employee morale is low, put in effort, excel, and no return and employees calling off.

      Chill management and great discounts, but confusing training

      Pros

      - Manager + GM are usually chill (at my location at least) - Lenient in comparison to other "fast food chains." - 60 percent employee discount (sometimes manager comps your meal).

      Cons

      - Entire training process was confusing (felt like being thrown into a lion's den for the first two weeks).

      Pros

      Some kind of discount on food

      Cons

      steer clear of this place if you value your sanity! The vibe here is super depressing, and everyone seems miserable. I’ve never seen a fast food joint this bad. The general manager is always hiding in the back, being lazy and avoiding customers. Instead, they put this young kid in charge, and he’s just playing power games with the staff up front. He keeps bringing in more rude and unprofessional people he can boss around. Honestly, the whole place is a joke! The staff are rude to customers, and you can totally see their bad attitudes. Avoid at all costs!
