Pros

managers are hired on salary, great team of people and great managers to work with

Cons

little geowth opportunities. when senior management keeps hiring outside of the company instead of utilizing their resources at the AM level it doesn't leave you feeling like your hard work is worth or for anything. the bonus structure is a joke, NO work life balance.

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.
