Pros

I don't really understand where most of the reviewers are coming from. Bee with the company 5 yrs. love my job. Started out as a cashier, then associate trainer, then shift supervisor, now assistant manager, hoping to be gm. Great growth potential. All you have to do is what they ask of you. Learn customers names orders...be super nice. Stock and clean well.

Cons

It can be stress full. But as long as all the pieces work together, it is rewarding. I work at one of the busiest lunch crowd stores in the nation. Most of our staff would bleed for you. Great people who need to be treated with respect and rewarded. It doesn't take a lot. I make special situations for them.

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.
