Pros

Generally a fun atmosphere with kids having a great time. Caring employees who work really hard despite the conditions.

Cons

The upper management really sucked to work for. They ran off so many GMs with ridiculous labor expectations then expected a perfectly clean store with great guest service. Well, ya can't have it both ways. Bonus plan was cut so badly that it was impossible to make money, they only paid out if you were building sales but expected labor to be lower year after year. How the hell do you build sales with a skeleton staff all the time?

Business outlook

Pros

Flexible schedules for Cast Member positions. If you are hourly your shift will end on time, no matter what. General Managers, not so much. 100% meal discount for management/trainers. Good salary, if you can negotiate it. Strong sense of team in the location.

Cons

Not enough hours allowed to meet the needs of the guest. No overtime, ever, no matter what. Extreme micro management. Inconsistent direction. No clear long term plan; let's throw things on the wall and see what sticks. Short term sales building mentality that erodes long term sales. CEO has no concept of actual operations. Senior management manages through fear and intimidation. Recently unattainable/unrealistic targets to bonus.
