      Pros

      Great Brand! Excellent food. It is a great start to a career for many younger individuals. A great place to let people know where you work, and to be proud of it. Would recommend for an hourly position, but not management.

      Cons

      Franchise owner needs to be investigated by corporate. Their business practices do not align with the culture or the brand in any way. Keep everyone underpaid, make them work crazy hours, and always throw the bonus in their face as if it is their salary.

      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.
