Pros

- Free meal on shift. - Secret Shopper Bonus. - Fellow employees get a long. - Managers can be very understanding. - Tips

Cons

- Overly long hours for the pay - During training, trainers "Grey shirts" and managers would tell me how do something but each one would show me a different way. - Having a shift from 4pm-1am (which can end up 2am) and having to find your own way home is wrong.

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.
