Pros

managers genuinely seem to care about you. the staff is friendly and accommodable, and if you're a hard worker you'll fit right in. You can learn most positions rapidly and there is great potential for upward mobility.

Cons

it's a fast paced position, and if you're not up to quick and efficient service this may not be the place for you.

Pros

-Pay is relatively decent -Managers will have sit-downs with you to check up on how you're doing -People who care about the company and it's mission. -Tips, they add up quickly and will likely pay for your gas that week. -Free food (while in the restaurant working), 50% off when not working -You will get raises and promotions if you work hard, but I mean hard. You need to get trained in the back in order to be promoted, so if you work only on the line this may be difficult. -Health care plan allowed immediately upon being hired

Cons

-Hectic work environment breeds for snappy and stressed coworkers -Very difficult to hear over glass sneeze guard, you won't be able to converse with customers frequently as you would in retail or other jobs -Not enough pay for the amount of work required, easily 3x the workload compared to retail -It's difficult to call in to work, you will have to find someone to cover by yourself no matter how sick you are. -Smokey adobo on grill will make it difficult to breath -If you work 5 hour shifts, you will not receive a break. -During peak hours i.e. 5-7 PM you will not be able to move away from your position at all. -Cons outweigh the pros
