Pros

They have history, they know what they're doing. They really know what it takes to run a successful restaurant and keep customers coming in the doors.

Cons

Because they are a corporate restaurant chain, there is a method and specific way to do EVERYTHING. In my opinion though, that just makes everything run smoothly because there's no way you don't know what you're supposed to be doing once you're done with training.
