Pros

Shift meal. That’s basically it….

Cons

Current gm is a total joke. No idea how he made it into management. Can’t make a schedule. And only knows how to lie and avoid doing anything remotely resembling work. Which in turn makes the employees resent him and also not want to work and also not want to stay. So far he has pushed out 30 employees in his short time there. Which has made it an absolute nightmare.. weekends are busy and don’t even have enough people to cover half of what’s needed to operate functionally. He will also tell employees to reliable old food as new, and a bunch of other bad practices that pot the customers at risk and is just bad leadership moves. How the higher ups haven’t removed him and the current field leader is astonishing.

Pros

Company generally takes decent care of employees and maintains a healthy work environment with a strict sick policy. 401k health and dental insurance also available for part-time in full-time employees. Very fast paced at my store, being in a college town so my day goes by pretty fast for the most part. As long as morale is good with the team then pretty much, as long as you're training is fully understood it's a fun place to work.

Cons

Once again. Very fast paced. And this is a company-wide standard no matter the total daily profits. Guests are to be greeted and at the door with their correct order and in and out in less than 5 minutes no matter how busy or how many staffed. This means for some people that enjoy a little down time at work this is probably not the job for you. Also for new hires there's no pay differential for any added experience you come in with. Everyone starts at the base pay which actually is pretty good company-wide compared to most fast casual dine-ins. However, all locations only promote from within so don't come in expecting a management position with a high rate of pay.
