      Pros

      Benefits, people, salary is decent

      Cons

      I dedicated several years to this company. Helped increase sales and overall profitability as well as good work ethic and team morale to the store I was assigned to. When the pandemic hit, they furloughed all employees. Only kept managers and 5 employees on to do all the work from prepping food, to cooking food, to full on service. Cut our pay in half, took away bonuses and made us claim tips we didn’t really earn. All for what? To get the small business loan?

      Pros

      Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

      Cons

      GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
