      Pros

      Discounts on food. Some of the people are cool too. That's it.

      Cons

      Didn't usually allow a break unless you were working a 12-hour shift. If you were working a normal 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, you might get one or two lunch breaks, otherwise, you have to eat super quickly or take bites between doing what you're doing. When I was hired, they said I would get about 30 hours a week, but that didn't happen. They would have me work 2-3 days, only around 6 hours every time. DO NOT get the rapid pay card. I repeat...DO NOT get the rapid pay card. If you want to transfer money to your bank account it takes 2-3 days and they don't let you cash out the money until it's at $50.

      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.
