Pros

The people that I worked with everyday.

Cons

They disrespect from other managers. The lack of communication. The miss treatment of employees. The Sexism. The racial jokes. I could go on about the filth of the locations. I went to 4 different locations in a 6 month period. I wouldn't feed my dog from this place. An I have not been back to the store to eat since I worked one day there. I ordered from other restaurants or prepared all food at home I ate.
