Pros

Pay was decent, The Restaurant was clean.

Cons

No Work Life Balance. The Franchise Group I worked for expected you to work until. your time wasn't important. The Manager Managed by Intimidation every other word to employee;s was :you will be fired " "I will fire you" "I haven't Fired any one lately" " Do you want to get fired" Very Negative Environment. Yelling and Screaming at employee's was common place. The Manager that doesn't subscribe to this antiquated view of people management is seen as weak. all of the above of course will be denied but trust me this is a real world first hand view. Worst mistake I every made working for this company. You will get the real picture after you come out of training. Training well it's not as good as they believe it is there are programs that head and shoulder above what they offer.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
