Pros

Set schedule if you're in management and flexible hours. Almost any request off is honored.

Cons

Lowest pay. They'll try to pay you $8.00 for a shift supervisor and try to get you to do manager salary work. No gratitude for any of your work, schedule you back to back closing to opening and they never honor their after every 6 months "review" for a raise. I only got a 50 cent raise after 2 years. They gave another girl who had been working there for 4 years a 15 cent raise...just terrible.

Pros

There were some great coworkers and some nice moments, but those can be found in any other food service job.

Cons

Dirty with bugs that weren't given the time of day by HR. The general managers were intense in a way of always being in a pissy mood.
