Pros

I never had any problem with any of my coworkers and my bosses were very nice to me. The restaurant is always busy so there isn't much down time and your always busy.

Cons

It's just a standard job preparing food, salary is not very competitive and you will sometimes be overwhelmed with customers flooding the restaurant during rush hour periods

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.
