Pros

It works well if you are a college student. Flexible schedule. If you are a hard worker, they will give you the good shifts.

Cons

They have shifted over the last 10 years to caring a lot less about their employees. Used to give out employee recognition for certain years of service. Used to have a rewards catalogue that you could pick prizes from. Now they don't care about the employees. Morale has gone down the toilet. They got rid of the night cleaners and are now making the staff stay late to do it. Vacuuming, mopping, cleaning the windows.

Pros

Control over your income, responsible for your guests, good support from management to get the job done.

Cons

There was lots of turnover in store management typically moving from store to store. Keep managers in their own stores. Each time a new manager arrives, they change formating especially in the bof and that lengthens ticket times and causes frustration for guests and foh staff

Pros

Great place to work. Good team environment and advancement possibilities. Extensive training program.

Cons

The hours aren't consistant and there's not much of a balance for much of a life outside of work.
