Pros

If you get in with the right co-workers and manager it can be a blast. Expect to be kept on your toes and ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off. If you work hard it is easy to move up in management.

Cons

The pay is terrible for the amount of work you will be doing. Get ready to smell like beef and peanut oil.

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.
