      Pros

      Pay is good, with great bonus potential. Health care and benefits are good. They value your time off and seem to work with you on schedules

      Cons

      Backstabbing seems to be the majority of the games played at this establishment. I work for 3 different locations and if you didnt sleep with the boss or do drugs or fit in with upper managment, they would find a reason to get rid of you. Did not support there managment team with any type of backing if a customer complained or employee.

      Pros

      It is a nationally known brand that people love. There is a lot of flexibility concerning where to work since there are so many restaurants around the country. There is a huge emphasis on quality of life and plenty of supprt systems in place to help you do the best job that you can.

      Cons

      Despite there emphasis on quality of life, the hours are still extremely long. Often times manager schedules aren't posted til last minute and they put many constrictions on time and when you can take it. Only one weekend off a month and they can switch to another restaurant (within 45 miles) with no more than a few days notice.
