Pros

Great benefits, many opportunities to move up (quickly), different restaurant concepts to move to.

Cons

Lots of hours for not enough pay. They take care of team members better than they treat their managers.

Pros

Coworkers are great! For those who are 'granfathered' in, you receive great benefits.

Cons

Corporate micromanages the management, creating a great deal of stress throughout the restaurant. The patrons at my location tend to be rather rude and get their meal paid for by being rude.
