Pros

- decent benefits - its a more of a high volume kitchen so most slackers throw in the towel within the month - they usually work around your hours

Cons

- management like any other job - moving up isn't a choice unless a manager quits or leaves - not much required to get the job so you meet interesting people - sometimes you feel like a 'lifer'

Pros

The managers worked with my schedule needs and were always quick to help when something came up out of the blue. They were very friendly and sociable also.

Cons

The employees were somewhat immature and sometimes blew things out of proportion. Overall, the inability of the employees to cope with change was overwhelming.
