      The best managers I've ever worked with.

      Pros

      The managers were very professional and understanding. If they saw employees about to get overworked they would intervene and aid. Most managers in restaurants don't like to get their hands dirty.

      Cons

      Disgruntled employees. As with any restaurant environment tension and stress was high coworkers could become angry quickly. It's nothing personal but dealing with hungry people is not a walk in the park.

      It's on par with similar restaurant chains, nothing spectacular but acceptable.

      Pros

      They have a solid management training program. Skills learned there can be transported and used in most other similar restaurants.

      Cons

      If you have a family, the work schedule can cause conflicts. Some opening shifts, some midday shifts and some closing shifts. Each week can be a different schedule.
