Pros

super easy interview, i started 2 days later. i dont think they do background checks. no drug tests., lax dress code, fun-ish environment, sampling food, free meals every shift. continuing training to learn other positions was highly suggested and some lower management really pushed for people to go forth into new roles (in hindsight, was less about personal development & more about you becoming able to cover for the minimum 2 people who called out everyday) one of the more diverse places ive ever worked but not much effort was put into ensuring some crew members' differennces & identities were respected.

Cons

i dont think becoming a certified trainer comes with an automatic raise anymore.....kinda bs you trust me to teach other people this job but still think i'm only worth 11 bucks an hour loll management living out their high school mean girl fantasies lmao. pay kinda low. cringe culture of holier than thou 'elevated' chicken and corn lmaoooo. perpetuated by us marketing/selling the food as health food (its not) to attract a certain crowd. tips divided equally even when there's literal children on crew showing up high and incompetent. field leaders show up and demand tasks be done no matter how short staffed or busy we might be during peak hrs. expected to jump through hoops and act as butlers when the big shots come in lol.overall pretty whack not gonna lie

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
