Pros

You don't have to worry about working for a company that's doing bad things like harming animals, using dangerous chemicals in their food, producing very unhealthy food etc. When you serve food to your customers, you know you're giving them real food. Working in the kitchen shows me that they really just use real, healthy ingredients. It's nice to know that you're representing a company that has real integrity.

Cons

It's a lot of work, you have to know how to do prep, line and grill. You hardly ever leave on time and a lot is expected of you. You can only really take your break when the line dies down so you're gonna be working hungry a lot.

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.
